München – It is the question that undoubtedly worries all fans of the lions the most at the moment: Who will take the helm at the TSV 1860 Munich? Now the long-awaited answer from those responsible seems to be imminent.

As reported by tz, Achim Beierlorzer (55) is to succeed Michael Köllner (53), who was released a little more than two weeks ago.
In the course of a virtual supervisory board meeting yesterday, Thursday, the bosses are said to have agreed to work with the native of Erlangen in the future and to want to fulfill the dream of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga.
However, there is also a catch: the Franconian is currently still tied to RB Leipzig. However, if all parties come to a common denominator, the way would probably be clear. A basic agreement with Beierlorzer is said to already exist.

At the Saxons, the coach worked under Jesse Marsch (49) as an assistant coach, after his dismissal he took over as a trainer on an interim basis.
It is unlikely that the new strong man will take a seat on the lions’ bench against SC Verl this Sunday due to the contractual situation. Günther Gorenzel (51), who is currently the managing director and interim coach of the six players, will be in charge again both at the press conference before the game and at the game.
However, Beierlorzer could already steer the game on the following matchday, when Bayern Munich play for important points at Hallesches FC on Friday evening. The 55-year-old does not have an easy task ahead of him.
The lions have been in a low for some time. Of the last ten games in the 3rd division, only two games could be won. There are also two draws and six defeats, some of which are sensitive. The performances shown are far too little for a promotion aspirant, which unsettles the players of the traditional club to the maximum.
After a strong start to the season, Munich have now dropped to a disappointing eighth place in the table.
After 22 games there are 34 points. The relegation rank, which SC Freiburg II occupies, but which is not allowed to rise, is eight points missing. The gap to 1. FC Saarbrücken, who would currently move up, is five points, to SV Wehen Wiesbaden in second place are ten points. The SV Elversberg has rushed with 53 points.
