Hamburg Sporting Director Frank Arnesen hits out at Felix Magath- Bundesliga news
Hamburg SV Sporting Director Frank Arnesen has hit out at VfL Wolfsburg manager Felix Magath following a failed transfer for South Korean midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol. He claimed that Magath was unprofessional when he stalled the transfer
in the dying moments of the summer transfer window.
Hamburg had reportedly agreed a transfer for the South Korean in this transfer window with Wolfsburg but Felix Magath pulled the plug at the very last moment to deny Rothosen an acquisition. The transfer deadline ended and Frank
Arnesen failed to sign an attacking midfielder as a result.
Arnesen was furious on Wolfsburg decision of not allowing the player to leave. He claimed that Magath had agreed to sell the player and admitted that he had no clue on why the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 manager stopped the South Korean from leaving.
The Sporting Director slammed the former Schalke manager and insisted that it was thoroughly unprofessional from an experienced manager to make a decision like that.
“This is not the way you treat colleagues. Everything was sorted out before. These are manners I am absolutely not used to. Maybe I am not perfect in the German language, but my ears are very good and I simply know what we agreed
to do,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Frank Arnesen, who also served http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 as the Director of Sport, added that Ja-Cheol and his agent were due to arrive in Hamburg for a medical but at the very last moment they were denied an exit from the former Bundesliga winning
club.
“On Sunday the player's agent and the player were supposed to come to Hamburg but then Magath said 'no, he's staying with us',” he concluded.

Wolfsburg last season.
The midfielder has 21 international caps to his name and has scored an impressive eight times for his country.
