Saarbrücken in crisis: Coach Schwartz is under pressure!
The situation at 1. FC Saarbrücken is getting worse. The president and patron, Ostermann, who invests between 4 and 6 million euros in the club every year, faces serious challenges: after the defeat against Alemannia Aachen on Sunday, which was the third in a row, the signs point to a storm. The club is currently in 10th place in the table and coach Alois Schwartz is under considerable pressure. Given the club's financial difficulties, there is already speculation about Ostermann's possible removal from power, which is further increasing the unrest. [Lomazoma] reports that the club has not only lost the last few games, but is also in danger of taking a dramatic turn.
The game against Alemannia Aachen ended 0-2, with both goals scored by Gindorf. The guests from Aachen have an interim coach on board, Ilyas Trenz, who has already led the team to two wins in two games. This seems to be a small turning point that could increase the pressure on Schwartz. After all, Aachen's performance in the last few games has been excellent and sets them apart from the shadows of the competition.

Rot-Weiss Essen didn't miss a beat and also won, 1-2 against bottom-placed Schweinfurt 05, which catapulted them to fifth place, level on points with third-place SC Verl. TSV 1860 Munich was also in good form and beat Energie Cottbus 3-0 with an impressive crowd of 15,000. Further results from the third league show the variety of exciting games:
