Augsburg, without a coach for his debut by going for toothpaste

The Bundesliga has imposed a security protocol that must be followed to the letter if you want to participate in the return of football to Germany. Heiko Herrlich, coach of Augsburg, made an almost insignificant error but that will leave him off the bench on the lap of the competition.

The coach, who arrived on the bench on March 10 to replace Martin Schmidt, will not be able to be with his team in his redebut against Wolfsburg at home for going out to buy toothpaste.

“I made a mistake when leaving the hotel, despite doing it with all the recommended precautions. But I couldn't do it. I was not a good example for the others. For this reason, I will not be on the bench against Wolfsburg,” he acknowledged in a virtual press conference.

The coach will miss an important match for his aspirations. His team is fourteenth and a victory, plus defeat for Dusseldorf, could lead him up to 8 points away from relegation positions. Wolfsburg will seek victory to sneak into Europe if Schalke lose or tie in the Ruhr Derby against Borussia Dortmund.
