Sexy Football coming to Koln! Der #effzeh wird mit Gerhard Struber als Cheftrainer in die Saison 2024/25 starten ✍️📃Herzlich Willkommen in Köln, Gerhard! Schön, dass du da bist! 🔴⚪️📲 Zur Meldung 👉 https://t.co/BIalzjT7h3 pic.twitter.com/ZDgjSefJsu— 1. FC Köln (@fckoeln) June 12, 2024 Failed with RBNY Failed at Salzburg (which is hard to do) Hired by Koln! With Sexy Football and Cologne now mixing, I think this can only mean one thing
This guy is one of the most overrated coaches I’ve ever seen. He talks a good game, but his teams suck.
I am not sure how he's "overrated." Who rates him highly? Things went south quickly with RBNY and then Salzburg was a disaster.
C'mon, he's won trophies. For example he coached RB Salzburg to . . . erm, 2016-17 Austrian U-16 title. That and . . . erm, OK

GOAL for Downs to open the scoring today - receives a pass at the top of the box in transition and makes a strong first time finish inside the post to beat the keeper. Striker's finish.
