Cologne hires Funkel

FC Cologne appointed Friedhelm Funkel as coach for the last six games of the German Bundesliga season yesterday after firing Markus Gisdol with the club on course for relegation. Cologne lost to Mainz 2-3 on Sunday in Gisdol’s last game in charge after giving up a 2-1 lead. The team is second to last in the Bundesliga, three points from safety, and has not won in eight games. Funkel, a former Eintracht Frankfurt coach, is back for a second stint after coaching Cologne from February 2002-October 2003. It’s his first job since he was fired by Fortuna Duesseldorf in January 2020. Gisdol had been at Cologne since November 2019.
