A smile here, a hug there, a handshake there. On Thursday morning, Urs Fischer (57) appeared for the last time at the club building of the Bundesliga club after his dismissal as Union coach to say goodbye to his former colleagues, staff and players.

Breakfast with ex-employees

There was breakfast for everyone who is not with their national team during the current international break: players, bosses, employees. As a result, even the team’s training was canceled.

There are even some fans there to say goodbye. ‘Bild’ writes that Fischer gave autographs to the Union supporters one last time before saying goodbye.

Memories for eternity
