Darmstadt sack head coach Meier
Head coach Norbert Meier
Berlin : Head coach Norbert Meier has been relived from all his duties with immediate effect, German football club Darmstadt have confirmed in an statement via the club’s official homepage. After suffering their fifth straight loss and dropping to the Bundesliga drop zone, Darmstadt reacted and dismissed head coach Norbert Meier and sporting director Holger Fach on Monday, reports Xinhua. “After careful analysis of yesterday’s game, we reached the conclusion that the club needs a fresh impetus to reverse the current negative cycle, and that is why this decision has been made,” Darmstadt’s president Ruediger Fritsch said.
“We thank Norbert Meier and Holger Fach for all their hard work.” The 58-year-old coach joined Darmstadt from second division side Arminia Bielefeld in the summer 2016. Under his command the “Lilien” reaped two wins, two draw and nine losses in the Bundesliga. They were also eliminated from the German Cup by fourth division team Astoria Walldorf.
Darmstadt are 16th place on the Bundesliga standings, which is a relegation play-off spot. They will encounter newly promoted Freiburg in the next match on Saturday.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
