Regardless of the fluctuating sporting achievements, the Supervisory Board of German handball record holder THW Kiel unanimously declared its support for further cooperation with coach Alfred Gislason – at least until the end of the contract term 2019.

This was confirmed by Reinhard Ziegenbein, chairman of the five-member supervisory board, in an interview with Kieler Nachrichten.

“The coach is not in question. There is no reason for us to think about a change,”the 61-year-old told the newspaper. Kiel are only in eighth place in the Bundesliga, but they managed to beat Belarusian champions Mezhkov Brest in the Champions League on Sunday to a safe 33-23 victory.

According to Ziegenbein, even though the qualification for the royal class 2018/19 is in danger, he does not claim to be sleepless:”It would hit us, but it wouldn’t kill us and wouldn’t affect our plans.”
