"Unprecedented processes" provide the DFB for swirls

The election campaign around the DFB Presidency is in the hot phase. But about a week before the Bundestag, the association again brings the past.

It should start a new beginning, the departure in a better time. In any case, the DFB upper before the Bundestag and the choice of a new boss repeatedly assume. But all the scandals, mud battles and power fights can hardly be displaced shortly before the showdown between Bernd Neuendorf and Peter Peters.

About a week before the ink of a new president, the German football federal government (DFB) has long since returned. In the focus before the election on March 11 in Bonn, once again the ominous contract with the former consultant Kurt Diekmann, unpublished test reports as well as alleged threats of leadership against own employees.

There are processes that are also likely to deal with the Bundestag. Therefore, because, for example, because the Ulrich Call Represented for the investigation of the controversial cooperation with DieKmann will not face re-election - and adopted with sharp criticism towards the outgoing treasurer Stephan Osnabergge or ex-Secretary-General Friedrich Curtius.

For details on the conclusion of the "Causa Diekmann" examinations, the Audit Committee waived in the current annual report, but wrote reputation on the behavior of "members of the Presidential Committee" of a "unprecedented process".

These are topics like these that have sustainably rampated the call of the association in recent months. The image has "massively suffered", the outdoor view "damage", Neuendorf admitted to the interview with the Frankfurter Rundschau. A new beginning, so it takes both candidates, the goal is. A task on which the bosses have litly failed.

DFB vice cook in criticism

In the criticism, interim boss Rainer Koch, whose name also falls around the DieKmann Treaty. He should now also have used his influence for Neuendorf - but the Mittelrhein-Boss says with a view of a group of chef, which should have drawn in the background the threads: "We do not really live in the age of myths and say."

Instead, Neuendorf now realized that Countercandidate Peters (FIFA-Council) and Koch (UEFA Executive Committee) should keep their top offices in international football. Peters would then stay in the FIFA Council until 2024 - even though he would not have a post in the DFB more. Cook, which is probably far from the DFB Bureau, sits by 2025 in the UEFA Executive Committee.

From Neuendorf's point of view, the risk would otherwise threaten to influence an influence in front of the EM final round "in one's own country internationally," he said the "DFB Image".

But the plan appears risky. Finally, Peters and Koch would have to set their differences aside to be able to represent credibly common DFB positions in the bodies.

And although Peters had recently spoken out of the rushed relationship with chef. From a "climate of anxiety" at the DFB, the 59-year-old reported, which despite the support of the profile camp in the first-time secret combat tuning to hope for deviations.

"At the top of the DFB, it has not been harmonized in recent years," said Neuendorf, who goes to the race thanks to the majority of the amateurs as a clear favorite. The expectation and goal is "that the DFB rests rest again".
