Brinkmann thanks Hansa boss: trust in turbulent times!

November 30, 2025 is a very eventful day for the sporting scene in northern Germany. FC Hansa Rostock is in focus, not only because of the game against Jahn Regensburg, but also because of the latest developments surrounding coach Daniel Brinkmann and sports director Amir Shapourzadeh. The club has recovered from a difficult phase and is showing impressive performances.

After the first nine league games, the mood in the house was a little subdued as Rostock could only collect ten points. Many discussions about Brinkmann hovered over the team. But Shapourzadeh, who maintained faith in his coach, has already been rewarded. On November 23rd, the club announced Brinkmann's long-term contract extension. At the away game against Jahn Regensburg, Brinkmann publicly thanked sports director Shapourzadeh for his support.

Positive development

Since the coaching discussion, the team's performance curve has moved significantly upwards. The last six league games became a successful series in which Hansa Rostock achieved four wins and two draws. This means the team has improved from 15th place in the table to a solid seventh place with a total of 24 points. A turning point was the emotional 2-2 draw against MSV Duisburg, which marked the start of this positive development.

Brinkmann has learned a lot during this time, especially through the return of injured players. He also reacted strategically and changed the formation from a three-man to a four-man chain and from one to two strikers, which turned out to be spot on.

Statistics and history against Jahn Regensburg

Hansa Rostock has an impressive record against Jahn Regensburg: in the last six competitive games against Upper Bavaria, the team remained unbeaten and only lost in one of 13 duels. This starting position could give the team additional momentum for the upcoming match.

Aside from this exciting football story, there is also exciting news from the world of technology.
