An unexpected change of coach has shaken the soccer regional league FC Gießen. Daniyel Cimen, who has acted as head coach since the club was founded in 2018, leaves the club and is moving to SG Baroque city of Fulda-Lehnerz. This sudden decision came after the impressive 3-1 victory against Hessen Kassel on Saturday, in which Cimen already said goodbye to the audience with an emotional gesture.

The departure of Cimen is a heavy blow for FC Gießen. Cimen conducted the team through many challenges, helped building solid teams and held the club in the regional league, despite financial and structural problems. Managing Director Michel Magel expressed both respect and regret about the change. "Daniyel would often have had good reasons to leave FC Gießen," emphasized Magel, emphasizing the loyalty of the trainer.

The decision for the new association

Cimen has signed a three -year contract with Fulda, where the promotion to the 3rd league is sought. Magel showed an understanding of Cimen's desire for change, with critical commented on the way Fulda Cimen recruited after the start of the season. The Gießeners showed remarkable performances in the first rounds of the season, which makes the time of Cimen's change all the more surprising.

In his farewell statement, Cimen expressed his gratitude towards FC Gießen. He spoke over the formative years, which he spent both as a trainer and as a person in Gießen. "Gießen will always stay a home for me," he said, greeting warm greetings to the fans and supporters of the club.

The successor of Cimen takes over Michael Fink, his previous assistant. Fink, who shares the philosophy of Cimen, is regarded as a seamless continuation of the trainer's work so far. Despite the fact that Fink does not yet have the required A license, he will be allowed to lead the season until winter with a special permit. Magel was optimistic that Fink and the existing team of coaches can seamlessly build on the positive development of the team.

It remains to be seen how the situation in Gießen will develop without cimen. Fink, who is also active in the field as a player in addition to his coaching role, could be in a special position. A player coach in the regional league would be unusual, but at least does not seem to be completely excluded.
