Bundesliga: Streich To Step Down As Freiburg Coach

Freiburg head coach Christian Streich announced he will step down at the end of the season after over a decade at the helm of the Bundesliga club.

"I have considered it for some time and carried out talks, but I think that... this is the right time to make way for new energy, new people and new possibilities," he said in a statement.

Streich has spent the majority of his career at the club, first as a player before becoming a youth coach in 1995.

The 58-year-old took over as coach of the first team in 2011 and is the second-longest serving coach in the Bundesliga after Heidenheim's Frank Schmidt.
