According to Union Berlin chief Oliver Ruhnert, however, Kruse is by no means untrainable.
In an interview with ZDF on Saturday, Ruhnert defended the former Union Berlin player, saying the 34-year-old doesn't cause any problems if he's coached the right way.
"I firmly believe that you can always manage Max Kruse if you know what he's like," Ruhnert said.
Ruhnert added that he sees Kruse as a "gifted player" with the ability to "do things that other players won't learn, even if they train for 10 years."
Whether a move back to Union could be on the cards for Kruse is unclear at this point.
