Steffi Jones fired with immediate effect? a man (66) should replace them
As a football player was Steffi Jones a force? For 14 years she kicked in the national team. Three European and one World Champion title go to their account.
As a trainer, she was able to convince but less so far. Since she took over from Silvia Neid in 2016, it's not going to be that big. Therefore, the DFB has now drawn conclusions: The 45-year-old is dismissed with immediate effect. Their job is taken over by the 66-year-old former football pro Horst Hrubesch.
Decision after "months of analysis"
On the website of the DFB it says: "To this decision, the Bureau came in the context of today's conference call and thus followed the recommendation of the director national teams Oliver Bierhoff and the Sporting Director Joti Chatzialexiou."
Oliver Bierhoff continued: "The decision is preceded by an intensive analysis of the past few months, most recently Joti Chatzialexiou accompanied the team on the trip to the US We wanted to continue working with Steffi after the disappointing European Championships and deliberately gave her the chance .
