Handball: Brand criticizes DHB:”Think about basic structures”.

Heiner Brand criticized the German Handball Federation (DHB) in the discussion about the controversial national coach Christian Prokop. Instead of focusing on the coach’s question, we have to “think about the basic structures”, said the 2007 World Cup coach at Sky Sport News HD.

“When you buy a young coach out of a contract for so much money, pressure is created. The trainer in the cabin is also influenced when the vice-president is in the cabin,”said Brand.

DHB Vice President Bob Hanning, who is said to have been in the booth during the European Championship debacle in Croatia during the game breaks, is also referred to as DHB Vice President Bob Hanning. Brand had already criticized Hanning several times in the past and even assumed his former assistant to have a “narcissistic personality”.

Brands’ current criticism of the DHB should also explicitly refer to Hanning:”In the sporting field, there are only a few people who have the relevant experience, performance and personality. You don’t necessarily want strong people either, but people you can lead.”

Brand is also sceptical about the internal processing of the EM debacle within the association:”I hope that there is a serious analysis and not that one protects each other”, said the Gummersbacher:”This is always a danger when such functionaries meet.
