Display MoreHere's how Stuttgart will look like next season according to rumours:
Setter: Bozic, Krenicky
MB: Morissette, Veltman, Varela
OH: Stautz, Knollema, Stiftar, Robinson (from Cannes)
OPP: Rivers, Martin
L: Koskelo, Reesink
Doesn't sound very good. Only Rivers/Martin sounds really good
I'm not so sure, for someone who is linked to the city by a family with three children, staying there would be the safer bet and I think he also might earn more in a normal season with Dresden than as NT coach where DVV probably only pays for the summer months.
I don't know the salary for a national coach in Volleyball.
In women's handball, you earn more as a national coach than as a club coach
So basically this means that after the summer, Waibl will have to decide whether he'll fulfill his contract with Dresden until 2026 or continue as NT coach.
I think he's leaving Dresden. He has been increasingly unhappy with Dresden in recent years. Especially because of the reduced budget and the Margon Arena
Whatever happened during the match, Bitter refusing handshake after the match is absolutely unacceptable for me. Looks like he's exactly the right coach for Stuttgart after all
It is unacceptable how much Bitters behavior has negatively influenced his own team's game. He completely unsettled his team. I think Bitter was more angry that his team gave up a 20:13 lead in the third set.
Renkema defends Koslowski
Nicht ganz so dramatisch stufte MTV-Sportdirektorin Kim Renkema das Verhalten von Koslowski ein: „Er steht einfach häufig dicht an der Seitenlinie und macht Abwehrbewegungen mit dem ganzen Körper mit. Das war ein Reflex von ihm“, meinte sie. Für Renkema war eine andere Phase des Spiels entscheidend: „Es stand im dritten Satz 20:13 für uns, eine Sieben-Punkte-Führung darf man im Finale nie mehr hergeben.“
MTV sports director Kim Renkema didn't rate Koslowski's behavior as dramatic: “He often stands close to the sideline and makes defensive movements with his whole body. “It was a reflex on his part,” she said. For Renkema, another phase of the game was crucial: “It was 20:13 for us in the third set, you can never give up a seven-point lead in the final.”
Koslowski should then ask himself whether he really helped himself and his team with such an action or rather the opposing team. Because I also assume in Stuttgart that the hall burned after this action and the decisions.
It was 1:1 in the fourth set. After that, Schwerin scored 9 points in a row. Schwerin led 10:1 and then won the set. That actually helped Schwerin. Also because Konstantin Bitter couldn't calm down afterwards. He also didn't shake Koslowski's hand after the game.
I don't think Stuttgart will be happy with Konstantin Bitter in the long term. When a game goes badly, he has no answers. He can never really influence the game with his coaching
Why did Stuttgart end the 2-year contract with Corina Glaab? Last year when she signed up, Renkema said she had signed a two-year contract
I assume that Erfurt will have more or less the same squad next season. You can't do much with 600,000 euros
Rivers with a very weak match but IMO Stuttgart's tactics weren't good.
One of Rivers' worst games that she has ever played for Stuttgart. There have been several games this season in which she hasn't played well. But in the important games she mostly performed well. Not today!
I've heared yesterday in the meeting in Münster, that the new season could beginn in the end of september...
Yes! The Supercup is also scheduled to take place in September
It's not clear whether Erfurt will be back next season but if they are, they'll probably be on a similar level as the future Münster.
In Erfurt they are currently trying to achieve a mid-six-figure budget. That would be roughly the same budget as Neuwied had this season.
Wow. I mean lovely that Knollema stays in the league. But I thought that maybe Strubbe stays as well. Did she find a club abroad to play? And what about Vanjak?
As long as clubs like Stuttgart can't even keep Monique Strubbe for a second season, we will never have to talk about restrictions on foreigners in Germany.
It will definitely be interesting. Especially when it comes to Bozic. The setter position is so important in volleyball. And she is definitely not Bongaerts.
Rivers, Koskelo, Siftar, Knollema, Stautz, Krenicky, Božić.... Does anyone know more? Who is coming for the middle block?
Stuttgart also rested Rivers against Dresden and then lost 2:3. She wasn't even in the squad. That can also be described as unfair of Stuttgart
To be honest, I can't really understand this criticism. But that depends more on who it comes from. Because you can certainly have that accusation yourself. Sarah Straube also said in the interview after the game that Potsdam played with certain different tactics and that she was glad that Dresden didn't do it.
But on the other hand, you also have to see what Stuttgart is doing all season and also what statements there were from those responsible in Stuttgart. I find it a little presumptuous that Konstantin Bitter is now pointing the finger at Potsdam. Firstly, Stuttgart had given up the game against Potsdam on the last matchday of the main round and thus the best position in the main round. Secondly, they didn't do their job against Schwerin “perfectly” last week. And most importantly for me, the comments regarding the possible loss of the second leg in Istanbul in the Champions League.
You're right! Rivers is also constantly rested during the season. Maybe Stuttgart should take a look at itself
Konstantin Bitter criticizes the Potsdam coach because of the game in Dresden.
"That has nothing to do with fair play. With his formation he clearly tried to lose the game on purpose,” said the MTV coach
The Stuttgarter Nachrichten says that Potsdam will have 200,000-300,000 euros less money available next season.
And that doesn't even include the additional tax payments of around 900,000 euros
she could be an option for all top teams for years now, but I don't think she is ever going to leave Stuttgart
but you're right she is amazing
She had cancer a few years ago. This is also why she can't play every game for Stuttgart and needs more breaks than other players
