Round 26: Streich Steps Down & Kovac Axed! Bundesliga Managerial Shake-Up
Show Notes

Freiburg faces a bittersweet moment as Christian Streich, the heart and soul of the club, announces his departure at the end of the season. Streich, who has been synonymous with Freiburg for decades, leaves behind a legacy of remarkable achievements, from relegation heartbreak to European competition multiple times. His Klopp-esque resignation video encapsulates the emotions of fans as they bid farewell to a coach who not only brought success on the pitch but also served as a beacon of social consciousness in the league. This weekend, they took on record-breaking Bayern Leverkusen, who maintain their 10-point gap to an improving Bayern Munich side after goals from the likes of Wirtz and Schick. 

Meanwhile, Wolfsburg undergoes a dramatic upheaval with the dismissal of manager Niko Kovač after a dismal run of form. Ralph Hasenhüttl steps into the fray, aiming to secure the club's top-flight status amidst a precarious battle against relegation. Markus (@markusfjortoft) and Jan Aage Fjortoft (@janaagefjortoft) reflect on all this and more in the latest episode.
