The reception was a little condescending. Hardly Hannover 96 had committed the HSV-Idol Thomas Doll as their new coach, wandered on the Internet, the usual Name games (“FC Dollywood”), and memories of his memorable press conference in Dortmund (“I laugh my ass”) through the Internet. As the table second-to-last in the football League have engaged an Entertainer for the relegation battle, and not a former national player who has led in his career Hamburger SV in the Champions League and Borussia Dortmund in the Cup final.

Doll assumed his new position on Monday with humility. “Of course I am. This is one of the best leagues in the world,“ said the 52-Year-old on Monday at his presentation . He was Manager Horst Heldt and President Martin kind is “very grateful to you for giving me this Chance,” what are the two decision-makers at Hannover 96 were pretty well divided. The “Kicker” published published on Monday an interesting Detail. Thus, Doll was the first choice of the embattled Manager Heldt. Club chief child have more of a tendency to a return of the former 96 Coach Mirko Slomka.

Thomas Doll can inspire his players and an environment

carried away the votes, is expected to coach and Manager in Hanover Should form a kind of community of fate. Doll gets with this difficult task, the opportunity, after almost eleven years in the Bundesliga, a new Image as a Savior. And Heldt could be superimposed in the case of success, some failed decisions of the past summer. Because the compilation of a barely League-ready and large injuries in addition weakened squad to be based solely on the head of sports, and on Sunday released coach André width riders.

That Dolls return, may surprise many, but only have something to do with his Person. In times of the “laptop Generation trainer” so as to young well-trained soccer teachers such as Julian Nagel, husband and Domenico Tedesco, it is rare that someone receives almost eleven years after his Bundesliga farewell to a second Chance in the highest German play class. Thomas von Heesen, Frank Pagels village or Michael Skibbe: the trainers were called in the season of 2007/08, colleagues of Thomas Doll. On a call like Horst Heldt you waiting so far in vain.

Doll itself, it was for years as well. “Always, when I read somewhere on the Internet that my Name was at a Bundesliga club or a second division side in the conversation, I was sitting on Packed suitcases,” he said in 2015, in a “Kicker”Interview. The first of his three Cup victories and a championship-winning five-year Station in the Ferencvaros Budapest had made him a “lucky coach”.

What has helped him so far, at every Station, is its ability to delight players, and to an environment away. And maybe Hannover 96 needs in his difficult and partially intermeshing splined Situation is nothing more than positive energy. Because every fight felt in this Association, with each of: The President, with an opposition group on the planned Acquisition of the divested professional society. The athletic Director with the President about the commitment of new players. The team itself is also not a unit, such as Dolls, predecessor to the width of the tab in December in public. The properties of the new Coach and the needs of the Association – that might fit in this case.
