He has to go!
Bild newspaper learned from sources close to the club that: 1. FC Kaiserslautern and coach Dimitrios Grammozis (45 years old) are now going their separate ways.
The second division team fires its coach. The 45-year-old is the first FCK coach to have to leave within the first 100 days of a season.
Grammozis lost five out of six matches in the second division. Grammozis only managed to win the cup and celebrated reaching the semi-finals, but that was still not enough for managing director Thomas Hienghene.
He no longer expressed any confidence in Grammozis after the 2-1 defeat to Paderborn, saying: “The coach is the poorest pig. He didn't have a place here to begin with, for whatever reason. But you have to achieve results, and I, the coach and the team know that. The mood is not in danger of changing, the mood has changed.”
Gramozis, who also coached Schalke and Darmstadt, was appointed as successor to Dirk Schuster (56/released at the end of November) only in December.

Former national player Miroslav Klose (45 years old) also tried to take up the position at the time. But the FCK decided against it. 2014 World Champion: “Unfortunately, the comeback was not successful”
Klose played for Kaiserslautern from 1999 to 2004, first for the second team for two years and then for the professionals (147 official matches, 52 goals).
Could Klose have been a better choice than Gramuzes?
He was most recently coach of Ösi-Klub SRC Altach, where he was fired after nine months in March 2023. Klose previously worked as assistant to Hansi Flick (58 years old) at Bayern Munich (2020 to 2021).
