Column, "added time": Heynckes is the fastest lame duck in the league

To describe the recent activities in the coach market in the Bundesliga as a wild bird is more than adequate. Because with Jupp Heynckes (Bayer Leverkusen) and Robin Dutt (SC Freiburg) sent two other coaches as a lame duck season in the crucial phase. In contrast to Louis van Gaal (FC Bayern) as well as the now-dismissed Armin Veh (Hamburger SV), and Felix Magath (Schalke), however, is Heynckes Dutt and separated from their clubs because they aroused due to their success greed of the competition.

Since the FC Bayern in the emergency traditionally conservative solutions and is Ottmar Hitzfeld is awarded as a Swiss national coach already is Heynckes, good friend of club president Hoeness, after 1987 and 2009 for the third time coach in Munich. For weeks, graced the nearly 66-year-old to extend his contract at Leverkusen.

The unnerving stalemate harmed neither the prestige of the old master nor the motivation of the team. The sovereign 2-0 (2-0) on Sunday evening was against the former Magath Wizard Seppo Eichkorn trained FC Schalke's third victory in a row without conceding a goal for the Heynckes-Eleven.

This time, even made Bayers problem case Michael Ballack a decent game. The most successful team in the second half reduced the gap to the leaders Leverkusen Borussia Dortmund on seven points. At least the chances that Bayer is the first time since 2004, qualified for the Champions League are very good.

Heynckes is indeed a lame duck, but currently the fastest in the league. His successful work will continue in the coming season, the 46-year-old Dutt. He has made himself an outsider at SC Freiburg such a good name that even the recent defeats of Breisgauer (ranked 16 in the back round table) in Leverkusen apparently leaves no doubt about the ability of the desired successor.

Given the misery another defeat would be the 34th of Freiburg Round may not be as noticeable if the opponent is called Bayer Leverkusen. You may then click the tactics of the designated Bayer coach Dutt be curious and have to think of van Gaal's bad word of "distortion", criticized the Bavarian outgoing head coach after Magath paging of Gelsenkirchen to Wolfsburg, the rapidly rotating coach carousel.

Van Gaal, who calls for the transfer period for coaches, was the 1-1 draw in Wolfsburg on Sunday in the basement battle at VfB Stuttgart confirmed his view that the Master of 2009, Magath is a better team than under Pierre Littbarski. It will feel there are other competitors in the relegation battle, on the next match as the FC Schalke, for Ralf Rangnick sits on the bench in the first round still coach of 1899 Hoffenheim.
