What about Abbondanza? It could be nice seeing him coaching a national team again after leaving Bulgaria.
He is only the coach of Fenerbahce so it could be also a candidate IMO.

Stefanie Karg told a Dresden newspaper that she won't play for NT anymore. She says it's too exhausting for her body to play all year without break...
So who will be our MBs this summer??? Kathy Radzuweit and Berit Kauffeldt???

Pettke, Langgemach, Silge and Kauffeldt
far away: Stöhr, Schwertmann
and others I haven't seen... -
Pettke, Langgemach, Silge and Kauffeldt
far away: Stöhr, Schwertmann
and others I haven't seen...Langgemach never plays in Dresden, Kauffeldt never plays in Wroclaw.
My pick would be Pettke, Silge, Brandt, and then the air gets thin I have no idea how Melanie Keil performs in NCAA, maybe she could be an option, otherwise Leonie Schwertmann should certainly be invited. Celin Stöhr isn't even an average MB for Bundesliga so no way she can play on international level. Another option might be Lisa Gründing who has played surprisingly well as MB after being converted to that position just some months ago.
-
Keil wasn't starter in 2013. In 2014 she played more, but she wasn't really impressive.
-
Kauffeldt never plays in Impel because of her uselessness she showed it in CL IMHO she just doesn't deserve to be a starter there, so no way that she could find place in NT
So big losses in German NT as MBs: no Furst, no Ssuchke-Voigt, no Karg now their middle is just way weaker... Pettke will be probably starter and who can be second maybe Silge should get as more experience as possible
I wish Schaus kept playing as MB, moreover on decent level... after coming back to OH/OP she kepps being worse and worse
so it's not a surprise that she got fired from Aachen... As MB in NT she did pretty welll... -
Schaus never played in Aachen. Last season she played in Münster and in the current season for Köpenick and Potsdam.
-
Langgemach never plays in Dresden, Kauffeldt never plays in Wroclaw.Langgemach didn't play a lot in Dresden, thats true. But when she plays, she makes a good job.
About Brandt: I hope, she will get no injuries ...
-
Schaus never played in Aachen. Last season she played in Münster and in the current season for Köpenick and Potsdam.
Sorry, I see that she's in Potsdam, playing as OP/OH, but she's so poor...
Coming back to MBs topic: so who can be in NT Pettke, Silge and who else what about Rebecca Schäperklaus? Can she compete with Brandt or Schwertmann for a place in NT

I'm not a big fan of her, but she has had some good matches this season. I really can't imagine her being good enough for international level though....but unfortunately Pettke hasn't played well either recently
Maybe we should do the same as in 2002, looking for a good foreign MB in our league who is not in a (strong) NT and ask her to play for Germany as we did with Olesya Kulakova back then.

DVV is in negotiations with Luciano Pedulla. Would be a very good choice IMO...

I agree. Pedulla is a very good and experienced coach
-
Yes, of the names we heard so far he is definitely my favourite
IMO he should get an assistant coach from German league though because probably he is not so familiar with German players except the ones that are already internationally known. Maybe Alberto Salomoni or also again Koslowski, as assistant he could be there...
-
Two more names: Tore Aleksandersen and Juan Manuel Serramalera. I don't think either of them really has a chance though...
DVV had a meeting this weekend but haven't reached a decision yet, they say they will have two more talks this week and still have the goal to present the new coach by the beginning of March...
-
DVV has come to terms with Luciano Pedullà as the new headcoach of German NT.
-
Very good decision in my opinion
-
Official press release (in English).
It's good to know that also the players were asked about their opinions of the candidates and were in favor of Pedulla.

I see this a little bit different. The players own their fair share of the problems with Giovanni, and now the federation is giving them the little finger when it came to decide who will be the new head coach. So far so good. Be positive. But I don't know if that's a good situation the federation put themselves in right now. If the times will get rough again some day...will they ask the players again?
-
Good luck to him and to the players! I think he's a very good coach, the federation made a very good choice with him!
