Holstein Kiel secures safety, will Walter stay?

Holstein Kiel has prevented relegation and is safe. Olaf Rebbe, the managing director, had the plan to replace coach Marcel Rapp with Tim Walter, and this plan has worked.

What happened?

Holstein Kiel has won five games and drawn one in the last six matches and is thus safe. The relegation from the 1st league is history and the Kiel team wants to move forward next season.

Why is it important for Holstein Kiel?

The retention of the league is an important step for the club to establish itself in the 2. Bundesliga. Tim Walter has a big share in this success and his future at Holstein Kiel is uncertain.

What comes next?

Holstein Kiel will face Magdeburg and Dresden in the last two games of the season and can still break a 2. Bundesliga club record. Tim Walter's contract ends after the season and it is unclear if he will stay.

Holstein Kiel is currently in 12th place in the 2. Bundesliga with 41 points and a record of 11 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses. The Kiel team has scored 44 goals and conceded 48 in this season.
