Marco Kostmann initially needed some time to process his promotion to the interim trainer of Arminia Bielefeld.
"That shook me pretty much. I used half a day to clarify that for me," said the successor of Frank Kramer at "Sky" before the game at 1 FC Cologne. "That's what I said the team as well and then the team was shaken through too. The measure was then surprising, but that was a small shock."
At his premiere as head coach of the Ostwestfalen, Kostmann predominantly relies on the staff of his predecessor. Three days after his promotion, the previous goalkeeper coach changed the starting element only due to injury. For the Jacob Laursen and Fabian Kunze injured in the previous week, George Bello and Sebastian Vasiliadis begin. Bielefeld has only brought a point from the past seven games and occupies four games before the end of the season's relegation Square 17.
"Many forgot that there were also phases in which Marco was not only tortable coaches but a very important part of the coach team," said Arminia-Kostmannschef Samir Arabi before the game.
Kostmann probably no permanent solution
But he let out that the former Bundesliga keeper should not become a permanent solution. "No matter how it ends up, we will reorganize ourselves in the new season, which is concerned with the coaching team." Finally, the problems are lower. "In the end it was not the Frank," Arabi said. "If you shoot only one goal in seven games of this crisis and gets a point, it was far not just the coach."
Cologne's coach Steffen Baumgart has changed his team compared to the 3: 1 derby victory in the previous week at Borussia Mönchengladbach only on a position. The Genisen Benno Schmitz returns to his master position right back and displaces Kingsley Ehizicue.
