Freiburg’s Christian Streich, Bundesliga’s longest-serving coach, decides not to continue
Associated PressBERLIN — The Bundesliga’s longest-serving coach has decided to call it a day. Christian Streich, who has been in charge of German club Freiburg for more than 12 years, said Monday he will finally step down at the end of the season, bringing an end to a 29-year coaching association that started when he took over the under-19 team in 1995. “It’s with a heavy heart, a very heavy heart, that I share the news with you,” Streich said as he announced his departure in a video published on the club’s website. “It was always very, very important to me in the past that I didn’t want to miss the moment when I think it’s time to go.” The 58-year-old Streich leaves after becoming a favorite in Freiburg and beyond for his passion on the sidelines during games, as well as his humility, compassion and humor when the ball is not in play. But now it’s the right time to say ‘adieu.’” Streich’s last game in charge will be at Union Berlin on the final day of the season.
