News from the camp of Dynamo Kyiv's closest rival in the main stage of the Europa League. Head coach of German "Hoffenheim" Pellegrino Matarazzo was on the verge of dismissal after his team yesterday lost to "Werder" (3:4) in the 5th round of the German championship.
This is the fourth consecutive defeat for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, and the club's management is seriously considering a change of mentor. According to Kicker, it has even been determined who could be Matarazzo's successor - it's David Wagner, whose last club was English Norwich.
According to German media, the next two matches Hoffenheim - against Dynamo in the Europa League (October 3) and against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga (October 6) will be decisive for Matarazzo: if his team fails to win in these two games, the 46-year-old specialist will be sent into retirement. All the more so because it will be the right moment to do so: next Monday, club soccer will go on another break due to national team matches.
