Hannover-Burgdorf fires up the fighting spirit: Coach Carstens gives hope!

TSV Hannover-Burgdorf has achieved a breakthrough in the European League, but the start to the handball Bundesliga still leaves a lot to be desired. The current status is not exactly to the taste of the fans: with a record of 6:12 points, the team is in 13th place. The recent defeat against newly promoted GWD Minden has further depressed the mood. The team is now all the more looking forward to the next duel, against SC Magdeburg, which represents a decisive game for the currently low morale. Handball World reports on the challenges and the confidence within the team.

Coach Frank Carstens, an experienced man in the handball scene, firmly believes in the quality of his team. “We have the potential to get out of this crisis,” he said combatively, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and cohesion. In the previous games, the team has suffered defeats against well-known opponents such as Gummersbach, Flensburg, Kiel and Erlangen. If you take into account the injuries to important players like Kulesh and Renars Uscins, the picture becomes even clearer: the double burden of the European League and the ongoing specters of changes are taking their toll on the squad.

Frank Carstens in charge

Frank Carstens is no stranger to handball. He once played for clubs such as VfL Oldenburg and GWD Minden before ending his active career in 2006. Since then he has served as a coach in various leagues. From his time at OHV Aurich to HSG Wetzlar, he has always shown a good hand, even though he was released there in May 2025. He now holds the coaching position at Los Angeles Team Handball Club, but continues to watch the Bundesliga and European handball to develop and stay in shape. Wikipedia gives a comprehensive overview of his career.

In the near future, TSV Hannover-Burgdorf will not only have to compete against Magdeburg, but also against other opponents such as Lemgo and Melsungen. The fans are hoping for a turnaround and that the club will quickly climb out of the bottom of the table. The current challenges are great, but Carstens and his team seem ready to face them and turn things around.
