Hannover 96 will launch another attack after failing to secure Bundesliga promotion. Coach Christian Titz will remain on the sidelines for the upcoming season. Sports director Ralf Becker told Sky: 'There's no discussion about the coach. That's total nonsense. We're all disappointed, but we're convinced that we can be successful in this constellation.' The 96ers had missed out on a direct promotion spot in the previous season and finished fourth. Captain Enzo Leopold said: 'It's incredibly bitter that you can't crown such a good season on the last day.' Christian Titz praised the environment in Hannover: 'That's exceptional. How this city has lived and supported the club and the team, that's not a given.' The supervisory board chairman Martin Kind, drugstore entrepreneur Dirk Roßmann, and co-owner Gregor Baum must finance another promotion attempt. A new sports managing director is still being sought. Christian Titz pointed out that the major squad overhaul had already taken place last summer. 'We've created a basis with this team, with 20 players under contract.' The coach also said that the team would sit down and discuss the next steps in the coming days. The 1. FC Nürnberg had won the last game of the season 3-3. Coach Miroslav Klose said: 'You're strong enough. Next season you have to attack again. I wish you all the best!'
