Bosz and Stöger are the coaches most at risk of getting sacked next.

Good profile of Mislintat here, by @ESPNUK, who had the story first. https://t.co/HqCpiXTiGE

Really good piece on Mislintat’s appointment, what he could bring to Arsenal and the challenges he may face - by @LGAmbrose. https://t.co/olvciSmWbm

Hoffenheim recorded revenues of 111 Mio in the fiscal year ending at June 30, 2017. Which is their second consecutive year breaking the 100 Mio mark.

Rouven Schröder could be on his way out at Mainz.

and with the loss, Dortmund are headed towards Europa with 1 game left.

while RB are now either CL spot #2 or EL. As Monaco are out of all Europe.
They are tied at 7 pts with Porto although Porto have the GD edge over RB.

RB vs Bestikas is the last game and RB needs to win that game and hope that Monaco does something.

Epitome990 · Nov 21, 2017

Dortmund better hope that APOEL doesn't get a draw out of Tottenham. Because I can't see them getting a point out of the Real Madrid match.

Even if they make it to Europa League, I can't see them achieving much in their current state. I don't know how much lower they have to go before their board does something regarding the coaching staff and management.

Beginning since his Leverkusen days

Heung-Min Son - 8 goals in 10 games against Borussia Dortmund. 2-1 Spurs. https://t.co/nTJ3rFmLLM

Looks like Mislintat isn't the only German scout in demand. RB Leipzig's chief scout, 35 y/o Johannes Spors has been contacted by Swiss club St. Gallen regarding the opening for their sporting director position. Spors was previously also in charge of the scouting at Hoffenheim, which is how he knows Ralf Rangnick.

RB Leipzig's sporting director, Ralf Rangnick is expected to sign a contract extension this week. His current deal runs until 2019.

Ger90 · Nov 23, 2017

feel bad for Hertha both goals conceded have been PK.

while Koln takes the lead vs Arsenal via PK.

Ger90 · Nov 23, 2017

the ref in the Hertha game is bogus. How he allowed a quick free kick for infringement in the Spanish box by Hertha player that lead to a counter goal.

Epitome990 · Nov 23, 2017

And Hertha concede a third from a counter-attack, right after the ref ruled off their free kick possession for whatever reason.

Added note, I don't really rate their CB pair of Rekik and Langkamp. Under normal circumstances, I think Stark and Torunarigha would be a better core to build on for the future.

Ger90 · Nov 23, 2017

Langkamp has made plenty of bad mistakes in the last few games and Rekik isn't too impressive either. They at least seem more stable with Stark.

Ger90 · Nov 23, 2017

Hertha are out of EL. Selke had a nice chance to equalize but straight at the keeper.

while Koln are still in but need to win their last game.

Ger90 · Nov 23, 2017

less than a minute and Hoff are already down, 1-0....

Ger90 · Nov 23, 2017

and with a loss, Hoff joins Hertha as also being out.

Epitome990 · Nov 23, 2017

Looks like Sebastien Haller who joined Eintracht Frankfurt during the summer, is already drawing interest from Inter Milan.

Alex C · Nov 23, 2017

So Hertha and Hoffenheim join Freiburg in being eliminated from European competition before Christmas. They could still be joined by Koln and Dortmund.

Only Bayern and Leipzig are guaranteed European football in the new year, and it is likely only in the EL for the latter.

This is the worst year I can remember in a long time for German clubs in Europe. Quite embarassing tbh.

Ger90 · Nov 23, 2017

Look at how all the French teams are doing and compare them to German ones. This season French except for Monaco>>>>>>German clubs.
