Coach Pavel Dotchev of third-division soccer club Erzgebirge Aue is satisfied with his current squad and sees no urgent need for action in the upcoming transfer window. "If we have someone who crosses our path and we are all convinced that he would suit us, we wouldn't say no. But that's not our goal right now," said the 58-year-old Bulgarian in an interview with the club published on Saturday.
As a coach, you always want one or two more alternatives. "But I have 100 percent confidence in my team that we can play successfully with this squad in the second half of the season," said Dotchev. New additions are therefore "not mandatory" for him.
Aue spent the winter in mid-table in eleventh place in the league. After a mixed pre-season, sporting director Matthias Heidrich and Dotchev are satisfied with the team's development. "This is just the beginning. We're not finished yet," announced the coach with an attacking spirit.
