The German club’s team trainer is eyeing a UEFA Champions League spot for his side in the not too distant future
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hannover-96-c39492 head coach Mirko Slomka is looking forward to help the Bundesliga outfit qualify for Europe’s Premier cup competition in the near future, after extending his current deal with the club over the weekend. He signed a
new contract that would see him remain with the side until 2016.
The manager has been a revelation since taking over the reins at AWD-Arena. He has helped them to their two most successful campaigns. They also finished an amazing 7th last term against all odds. The club defeated second-placed
Bayer 04 Leverkusen 3-2, and the coach was enthused before putting pen to paper.
The trainer further added that he is looking forward to maintain Hannover in the top ten clubs in the German League. Furthermore, he stated that if they qualify for Europe it would be a great accomplishment. He explained that is
the sole reason behind their desire to do well in the league this year.
"We want to remain established in the top 10 of the Bundesliga. It's a bonus to be able to play in Europe,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician conceded that he loves his team playing on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League. However, he stressed that Champions League football would be better for them and they will do their best to achieve that sometime soon.
"That is why we are hungry so that we can make it again next year that we play European games on a Thursday night, or better still on a Tuesday or Wednesday,” he added.
"This was an important decision for the future of Hannover. It's extraordinarily good that the club have placed their faith in me for the coming three years after the successful recent times,” he finally concluded.
Hannover’s latest win has brought them within four points of third place. They have spent two campaigns in the Europa League and want to move to Europe’s elite club competition. Slomka signed the new deal with this ambition in
mind.
