“I won't accept anything just to be back in the German Bundesliga,” says the Viennese.
Peter Stöger currently has no plans to return to Germany. “I had that, it was exciting, that was nice, I had two mega clubs. So it may happen again at some point. But I don't have that on my to-do list, ”said the Viennese.
On Thursday, the coach will compete in the Europa League at Bayer Leverkusen with his new club Ferencvaros Budapest. “I won't accept anything just to be back in the German Bundesliga.”
Stöger coached 1. FC Köln from summer 2013 to December 2017 and then Borussia Dortmund for half a year. A brief return to Cologne was planned in the spring. “I only had a conversation with the then sports director Horst Heldt and with managing director Alex Wehrle,” said Stöger, “but it quickly became clear to everyone involved that it was not right at the time.”
The game at Leverkusen is something special for the 55-year-old, the Hungarian record champions open their quarters in Cologne. “I was hoping for an interesting group. And I was a bit hoping for a German opponent. So it's a nice lot, “said Stöger:” I wouldn't say that it gave me an emotional boost. But it's a nice story. “
