Augsburg's Hinteregger criticizes his own coach: 'I can't say anything positive about him'
Martin Hinteregger has admitted he's in doubt if Manuel Baum is the right coach for Augsburg.
FC Augsburg defender Martin Hinteregger openly criticized his coach, Manuel Baum, after his side fell to a 0-2 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday.
When Hinteregger was asked by Bayerische Rundfunk if he still sees Manuel Baum as the right coach for Augsburg, and if he believes the 39-year-old is capable of turning the downward spiral around, he answered:
"Difficult to say. The downward spiral has been going on for a year. The curve actually went down during the whole of 2018. I can't say anything positive about him, and I will not say anything negative."
Hinteregger didn't try to conceal that he wasn't satisfied with Augsburg's performance against Gladbach.
"You can't play like that. Normally, Gladbach would be up 4-0 at half-time. We hardly had any chances in the first half, and the second half wasn't much better. They showed us what quality is, and what putting in a performance means," the defender said.
Hinteregger and Augsburg are sitting 15th in the Bundesliga table ahead of Sunday's games.
