Eintracht Bad Kreuznach: Effgen is counting on points for a worry-free second half of the season!

Eintracht Bad Kreuznach has thrown itself into preparation for the second half of the association league. With 20 points in the bag and a clear continuation goal in mind, an exciting time awaits the team. Coach Thorsten Effgen, who is firmly on the sidelines, is optimistic. “We would like to continue our successful phase in the fall and collect another 20 points,” said Effgen. The anticipation for the next game is palpable, because the focus is clearly on scoring points in order to experience a worry-free second half of the season. Eintracht is currently in ninth place after 16 games, but has freed itself from the relegation battle and now wants to look further forward, as generale-zeitung.de reports.

Thorsten Effgen's contract extension until the 2026/27 season is a further sign of continuity within the club. Since taking over for the 2022/23 season, Effgen has not only led Eintracht back to the association league, but has also developed the team further in terms of sport and teamwork in recent years. “We plan independently of the league, but relegation remains our constant companion,” emphasizes SGE chairman Patrick Krick. In discussions about the coaching team for the new season, Effgen and Krick agree: “As little change as possible, as much as necessary,” is the motto. A powerful team is also important for the upcoming challenges, as the second team has cautiously withdrawn from the A class.

Preparation and test matches

The preparation starts this week with a full program. Eintracht will play against SG Meisenheim on January 24th, followed by a duel against TuS Wörrstadt on January 29th and another friendly against SKC Barbaros Mainz on January 31st. The fans are particularly excited about the Dirk Silvery Cup in Hackenheim, where the first team will meet the winners from SG Fürfeld – FC Schmittweiler in the semi-finals on February 4th. The final pairings are scheduled for February 8th, which will surely attract fans to the stadiums in droves.

The club's successful path is clear: Eintracht would like to continue the positive youth work and, if necessary, register other teams. “We are confident that we will soon be able to register one or two new teams,” adds Effgen, demonstrating the positive development of the entire club. Collaboration with top performers remains crucial to continuing the success story.

Contract management in football

After a successful collaboration, putting contracts in writing is more important than ever these days. In sport, especially football, there are always disputes over coaching contracts that are often not properly documented. The BDFL recommendation states that contracts should be concluded in writing to avoid misunderstandings or legal problems, according to bdfl.de. A clearly regulated contractual relationship can help to ensure professionalism in sport and promote long-term, successful working relationships.

With solid preparation and clear goals, Eintracht Bad Kreuznach is ready to resolutely face the challenges of the second half of the season. Now it's time to put the pedal to the metal and collect the next points to finally banish worries about relegation.
