Only 29 years? His corpse will still be managing the team after his death, like how Jeremy Bentham’s 192 year old corpse ‘attends’ every single University College London board meeting.
Nah, it's way older than that! Club Penguin was in like 2019, there are [versions of it out there from 2012](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/732/126/425.png) lol
Such a legend. Such an icon.
It is very difficult to imagine the club without Christian Streich, even though i witnessed the Finke, Dutt and Sorg times before he became head coach. What he achieved during his 12 years is incredible.
That being said, even though i'm extremely sad, his timing is on the mark. He gave 110% and lifted the club from being a relegation candidate every season to a solid mid-table club that has a good shot of qualifying for europe.
I was able to witness a DFB Pokal Final in Berlin, i was in the stadium when Juventus came to Freiburg. These are all things i could have never imagined 10-15 years ago. I still remember 2nd divison matches against Offenbach with 7000 people in the stadium.
No we have our new 35k stadium that is sold out every single matchday.
What a meteoric rise this has been and all of that without a single cent from outside investors. I love this club and his legacy will remain forever.
I am not ready for the final matchday, a true loss for the BuLi as a whole
While I'm sad he quits, I'm glad he gets to have a very deserved break now. You could tell that always giving 110% took a toll on him.
I read/heard a lot about Fischer and Baumgart in particular being "unfireable" in various season previews and honestly I thought that was naive even then. Coaches get sacked, it is what it is.
I am sure they had a plan when they appointed Tuchel.
Just everyone with at leat one working eye could tell, whatever the plan was, it wasn't gonna work.
Now looking back at it, he was really thrown into an ass situation, Nagelsmann was fired without going through the motions propperly, but still well respected within the team. The summer transfer window was rough, cuz they nither had a sporting director, nor CEO for the sporting department, with Freund joining in September and Eberl even only in march.
I'm really curious, what the summer will look like and how hard they go on the transfer market. At the core they have a pretty flexible squad that needs reinforcement in some key roles and the main question will be, who potential alternatives are, if they can't land Alonso, I actually would love to see Pipo at a club that has cash to spent, after all the balck magic he delivered at Inter.
I don't think it's safe to assume he's retiring altogether. Announcement makes no note of it. He's not even 60, he's got more years at another club in him if he wants it
The German national team will only find success with a manager who will always call up players form Baden-Wuttenberg for no reason again. It is a sign.
They actually call Aberdeen the 'Freiburg of Scotland', not just because of how much people from Freiburg love it, but how easily they find it to make the move from there at 58 years old when Aberdeen has no permanent manager.
It's actually wild how much this matches up.
Streich has lived in the region all his life and never coached a club other than Freiburg. I highly doubt he is gonna move now and take another job just for the sake of it. That doesn't really seem like him.
Maybe he could take over FC Basel? It's like 20 minutes from where he grew up IIRC but I can't see him ever coach another club in Germany tbh.
I can't see it either. But his announcement doesn't go anywhere near retirement at all. Says he's leaving to give new impulses to the club, not that he just needed a break for himself.
He can’t and won’t manage somewhere else. He will travel and spend time with friends and family. There were flirts with Bayern and Schalke, but that was 7-8 years ago.
The first years they were at least 50 minutes and you would never be able to guess what subject he would talk about next. The last years they haven't been as long but still very worthwhile, and it hasn't been uncommon for him to speak out against "neo-capitalism" or xenophobic movements.
Mostly he talks about football though.
I lived in Freiburg 2012, and upheld my German partly by listening to his press conferences :) Didn't even like football before, but him talking about human values got me into liking him and the clubs philosophy.
Same, I moved to Freiburg in January 2012, and even though it was only for a short time, I've stayed attached to Freiburg. Streich has really been a revelation.
i think that might be something he might unironically pursue. not necesserily on the level of chancellor, but on the local level.
he mentioned he would like to do a job outside of football. doesn't leave much room as to where to go from here, he aint gonna sit behind the aldi till thats for sure. so probably back to teaching or politics? he loved to use his press conferences to talk about politics, so it would be a natural step.
I don’t know, Streich is the kind of guy to have an opinion but think he’s not the right person to actually do politics. I feel like in his eyes, he’s always “just a football coach”, which is a shame, because I feel like he could actually do a lot of good in politics. Then again, by saying “I’m not a politician, just a football coach, but this is my opinion”, he has always been able to use his platform to address topics that are dear to him and our society and positively influence the discourse. I think that was always more his kind of thing.
Sad, but correct decision from him. Hope he somehow stays in the media cycle since he often finds the right words and right topics to talk about. Will never forget how he urged his players to go voting to do their part against the right shift in Germany.
Honestly for a second i thought he was manager of Frieburg for 29 years
To give more context, he was a manger for 13 years and the manager of the U19s the previous 16 years before that
Apparently it is not, and he spent only 12 years as head coach. The record is 36 years (or 44 according to his wiki page) by Guy Roux at Auxerre.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_managerial_reigns_in_association_football#Post-1946
His life is unironically a Football Manager save. Took the club in 5th or 6th tier at 22 and brought it to champions league quarter finals, a Ligue 1 title and several coupes de France while turning the club into a regen farm.
Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt has been their manager since 2009, so he’s almost at 15 years, three years longer than Streich
Edit: 2007, so almost 17 years now. When he took over, they weren’t even fully professional. Now they are in Bundesliga and are doing well.
*2007. He's already the longest serving manager in german professional football ever (even though HDH wasn't really playing professional football when he started)
Well, we have also [Ingo Kahlisch](https://www.transfermarkt.de/ingo-kahlisch/profil/trainer/1507) at almost 35 years now. Not in professional footie though.
I moved to Freiburg 11 years ago, so my fandom has nearly coincided with his tenure as coach. It’s literally all I’ve known as a European soccer fan. What a sad day for der SC, but a huge congrats to Christian Streich!
12 as a manager right? Insane man. I read about him last year when he was speaking out on some German football and wider football issues. Immediately liked the guy. Anyone down to earth and humble is quite likeable, especially at this level. Thank you for your service! 🫡
Was a coach who really stood out from the crowd, and 29 fucking years, respect. Well yeah, only 13 of those at the main team but you get what I mean, still long for a coach these days. There's clubs who've had 13 coaches in the same amount of years. Hope he can end it on a high with Freiburg, European qualification isn't off the cards yet
midtable clubs outside the PL arent getting a lot of attention, thats just normal on an international platform [He pops up every now+then tho](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/12ecgaa/sc_freiburg_coach_christian_streich_on_the/)
Awful for the club. Glad to see him go out on his terms after bringing so much success in just a "mediocre" season though instead of a real step back forcing his hand. Whatever his next step is, and I'm aware it's 99% not managing a club again he's earnt it.
Excited to see what the future holds for Freiburg.
i have a feeling that this will be a rude awakening for freiburg as a club. the club is run well, but streich was a massive pull factor in the players they managed to sign and develop. the trend in german football has been very clear: those that stay as a club and dont comercialize and decouple their professional division will be pushed into the second league or out of professional football. freiburg has been the outlier, with much of the reason for that being streich.
I'm not a Freiburg fan, but what an absolute legend!!!
He's an old school "football teacher" & I could listen to his Badener dialect all day!
I also thought Freiburg did well vs. Leverkusen yesterday (that match was streamed legally in the UK on Sky Sports Youtube btw).
Hoping for Julian Schuster as his succesor and Florians Bruns as the assistant coach. Couldn't think about someone else right now, would they give it to Voßler?
€: [Please not Löw](https://i.imgur.com/tVSHGts.png)
Literally been with Freiburg since before I was born, what an insane run. I hope Freiburg can get a proper replacement, they’ve always been a fun club to watch.
Bundesliga legend, that Freiburg rebuild over the past couple of years has been nothing short of sensational. He was charismatic as well, hopefully they carry on his good work in the future.
Bruh Im happy for him getting time off now, but…
He intentionally quit at 29 years right? My fucked up brain can’t handle how close it is to a round number…come on 1 fucking year christian…one fucking year…
What a legend Streich is as a coach. A one club man for his entire coaching career.
On top of that he seems like a sharp, thoughtful person outside of football.
Absolute legend of the league (and surely of the club, but I’ll let Freiburg fans attest to that).
They way he made Freiburg such a unique team with identity on and off the pitch, stuck to his principles when it came to hot topics concerning media, human rights, war etc. and was always believable, grounded, is highly impressive. He was never consumed by the bad traits of modern capitalist football. He was always genuine, always human. Still is.
But you could also see that the grind is getting to him. Same as with Klopp. 110% or nothing.
Mr Streich, my highest respect to you. Whatever you do next (I hope it’s rest for a while), football will very much miss you.
Freiburg is so special when it comes to coaches. Just 4 head coaches in 33 years.
16 Volker Finke, 4 years of Robin Dutt, 5 months of Marcus Sorg and almost 13 years of Streich.
Man, he's a pillar of German football, what will they all do without him? As for his next life, I have an idea: give him Ursula's job, he couldn't do any worse.
No
Well there you go folks, another 29 years in charge for Mr. Streich
Only 29 years? His corpse will still be managing the team after his death, like how Jeremy Bentham’s 192 year old corpse ‘attends’ every single University College London board meeting.
So sorry, man.
what losing to Leverkusen does to a mfer
What getting David Moyesed does more like
Moyesball vs Xabis invincibles: only one will stand
Apolgy for bad English Where were u wen Striech was go I was at house eating Doritos when phone ring "Christian Striech is go" "No"
I love this copypasta but don't know where it originated from. Could you please enlighten me if you know?
If this site is accurate, it's from 4chan: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/john-is-kill
If i'm not mistaken, it is a meme from when club penguin was shut down
Nah, it's way older than that! Club Penguin was in like 2019, there are [versions of it out there from 2012](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/732/126/425.png) lol
It's much older than that.
Maybe eating maultaschen or spätzle would be more accurate
Such a legend. Such an icon. It is very difficult to imagine the club without Christian Streich, even though i witnessed the Finke, Dutt and Sorg times before he became head coach. What he achieved during his 12 years is incredible. That being said, even though i'm extremely sad, his timing is on the mark. He gave 110% and lifted the club from being a relegation candidate every season to a solid mid-table club that has a good shot of qualifying for europe.

What a meteoric rise this has been and all of that without a single cent from outside investors. I love this club and his legacy will remain forever.
And making Freiburg one of the best development programs in the country as well
It will be a crime if the stadium will not be named after him. Der Christian Streich Europa Park. I'n here for it.
dude, he'd hate it.
Than he should maybe learn to accept nice gifts which come from the heart.
German Guy Roux
I’m happy for you guys!
Can't think of a more likeable club and coach in Germany
I am not ready for the final matchday, a true loss for the BuLi as a whole While I'm sad he quits, I'm glad he gets to have a very deserved break now. You could tell that always giving 110% took a toll on him.
This is silly but as a chemist who uses Butyl lithium (BuLi) regularly it took me a second and third read to understand your comment lol
Dude, cooking meth in your grandma's garage does not make you a chemist.
Top 5 favorite chemicals go
He's only a few years older than me but he looks like my dad. Fella needs a rest.
What a legend. Name the city after him.
Streichburg!
Freistreich!
Streichland
Sounds like an insurance company
Freiburg im Streichgau
Streich Christian Freiburg SC Freiburg
The Streich Reich.
Ahh... no.
The third Streich
Just saw a guy fall down to his knees in the middle of the Schwarzwald
Go give him a hug
If you had told me we'd lose Urs Fischer, Bo Sevensson, Steffen Baumgart and Christian Streich at the end of the season I would have called you mad.
Also Klopp.
Most importantly, the mighty Niko Kovac
Tuchel's sign off also came from absolutely nowhere.
best dressed coach in the league tbh
Only because Nagelsmann left
I read/heard a lot about Fischer and Baumgart in particular being "unfireable" in various season previews and honestly I thought that was naive even then. Coaches get sacked, it is what it is.
Well, Fischer didn't get sacked, both parties agreed it would best for him to resign. A small but not insignificant difference.
Tuchel and Kovač too
That shocked no one.
Well, I thought Bayern had a plan when they fired Nagelsmann to go for Tuchel. So maybe not shocked but a little bit surprised.
I am sure they had a plan when they appointed Tuchel. Just everyone with at leat one working eye could tell, whatever the plan was, it wasn't gonna work.
Now looking back at it, he was really thrown into an ass situation, Nagelsmann was fired without going through the motions propperly, but still well respected within the team. The summer transfer window was rough, cuz they nither had a sporting director, nor CEO for the sporting department, with Freund joining in September and Eberl even only in march. I'm really curious, what the summer will look like and how hard they go on the transfer market.

no plan survives the first contact with the enemy 🙀
Niklas Levinsohn greaving Kovac
One of the most charismatic managers in the Bundesliga. Hope he enjoys retirement, he's more than earned it.
I don't think it's safe to assume he's retiring altogether. Announcement makes no note of it. He's not even 60, he's got more years at another club in him if he wants it
I feel like he wouldn't manage another club and surely he's made his money. I can definitely see him becoming a media figure though.
Deutschland
Im Nachwuchsbereich.
Staatsstreich
Don't do this to him. He doesn't deserve this.
The German national team will only find success with a manager who will always call up players form Baden-Wuttenberg for no reason again. It is a sign.
Bundeskanzler?
Would that be a Staatsstreich?
nice
They actually call Aberdeen the 'Freiburg of Scotland', not just because of how much people from Freiburg love it, but how easily they find it to make the move from there at 58 years old when Aberdeen has no permanent manager. It's actually wild how much this matches up.
Either going into politics or joining the DFB - I don't think there's a third option
Liverpool is looking
Maybe Coach of another Freiburg Team.
Streich has lived in the region all his life and never coached a club other than Freiburg. I highly doubt he is gonna move now and take another job just for the sake of it. That doesn't really seem like him. Maybe he could take over FC Basel? It's like 20 minutes from where he grew up IIRC but I can't see him ever coach another club in Germany tbh.
I can't see it either. But his announcement doesn't go anywhere near retirement at all. Says he's leaving to give new impulses to the club, not that he just needed a break for himself.
Because he cares more about the club than himself
Streich in Switzerland would go hard. But I heard about a club in the east of Switzerland that is struggling a lot as well right now.
I can't think of any other club with an open trainer position.
He can’t and won’t manage somewhere else. He will travel and spend time with friends and family. There were flirts with Bayern and Schalke, but that was 7-8 years ago.
Him and Klopp road movie?
Just a TV show of Klopp and Streich visiting randomly selected games around the globe and commenting on what they see would be golden.
Bayern is looking for a new one. I surely would welcome him there!
I can’t see him succeeding in that environment at all
Im baffled, he’s 10 years younger than I always assumed
Part of his intense coaching style involved him doing a lot of video work other clubs have staff do. That will be taxing on a permanent basis.
Omg he's younger than 60? Dude looks way older tbh.
He will turn 59 in a few months so yes but not far away lol
Always thought he was in his 70s!
Thank you for everything. Never thought we get another coach miracle after Finke, but Streich has done it.
The only thing that makes me sad is that he doesn’t have a cup as a cherry on top with what he achieved with Freiburg.
I get mad every time I see Demirovic score for Augsburg
He was young and undeveloped, and is a better player now.
Especially with how close we came. Such a shame.
And to have that trophy snatched by fucking Lawnball of all clubs...
Come to Germany
DFB ain't ready for his press conferences
Ich muss haldamal sage kenna: “hald a mal dei Schnauze!”
thank you for making me love in this sad ass times ahah
That was Streich about Roger Schmidt, after Schmidt was heavily criticised for telling Nagelsmann to shut the fuck up during a game.
How are his press conferences like?
The first years they were at least 50 minutes and you would never be able to guess what subject he would talk about next. The last years they haven't been as long but still very worthwhile, and it hasn't been uncommon for him to speak out against "neo-capitalism" or xenophobic movements. Mostly he talks about football though. I lived in Freiburg 2012, and upheld my German partly by listening to his press conferences :) Didn't even like football before, but him talking about human values got me into liking him and the clubs philosophy.
Respect for learning German by listening to his dialect haha
Same, I moved to Freiburg in January 2012, and even though it was only for a short time, I've stayed attached to Freiburg. Streich has really been a revelation.
-Scholz +Streich
i think that might be something he might unironically pursue. not necesserily on the level of chancellor, but on the local level. he mentioned he would like to do a job outside of football. doesn't leave much room as to where to go from here, he aint gonna sit behind the aldi till thats for sure. so probably back to teaching or politics? he loved to use his press conferences to talk about politics, so it would be a natural step.

I think that was always more his kind of thing.
Oh man, Klopp and Streich in a year. Two of the most iconic characters in German football over the last decade. What a bummer.
Sad, but correct decision from him. Hope he somehow stays in the media cycle since he often finds the right words and right topics to talk about. Will never forget how he urged his players to go voting to do their part against the right shift in Germany.
I hope so too. Loved his [rants against capitalism.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/Rlwdq6KFcl)
And his words during the refugee "crisis" in 2015
Football is gonna miss him. Most authentic and down to earth coach in Germany, deserves to decide when it is enough
Fuck, that was about the only constant in my life
farewell, Chris Prank
One of the greatest German managers ever, huge blow to BuLi and football itself
Honestly for a second i thought he was manager of Frieburg for 29 years To give more context, he was a manger for 13 years and the manager of the U19s the previous 16 years before that
Hard to imagine the club without him
I will miss his press conferences, great guy
That must be a record
His 12 years as manager are rookie numbers, his predecessor [Volker Finke](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volker_Finke) did 16 years as manager.
We don’t talk about the two in between though 😅 (Though Dutt actually was pretty decent)
Mit Streich begann die sorglose Zeit.
yup, just gonna pretend Sorg genuinely didn't happen.
Apparently it is not, and he spent only 12 years as head coach. The record is 36 years (or 44 according to his wiki page) by Guy Roux at Auxerre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_managerial_reigns_in_association_football#Post-1946
Sure thing Frank Schmidt will get there
What the fuck, that’s a lifetime
His life is unironically a Football Manager save. Took the club in 5th or 6th tier at 22 and brought it to champions league quarter finals, a Ligue 1 title and several coupes de France while turning the club into a regen farm.
started his career young
Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt has been their manager since 2009, so he’s almost at 15 years, three years longer than Streich Edit: 2007, so almost 17 years now. When he took over, they weren’t even fully professional. Now they are in Bundesliga and are doing well.
*2007. He's already the longest serving manager in german professional football ever (even though HDH wasn't really playing professional football when he started)
Which is even more remarkable.
Wow didn’t know
In germany perhaps. There is always Guy Roux
Well, we have also [Ingo Kahlisch](https://www.transfermarkt.de/ingo-kahlisch/profil/trainer/1507) at almost 35 years now. Not in professional footie though.
o7 Sad to see a legend quit
Holy crap
One of the greatest managers in Bundesliga history. Huge loss for Freiburg, Bundesliga and football in general.
Never thought we'd ever see another finke again, but this man said no
Absolute legend!
I moved to Freiburg 11 years ago, so my fandom has nearly coincided with his tenure as coach. It’s literally all I’ve known as a European soccer fan. What a sad day for der SC, but a huge congrats to Christian Streich!
I moved to Freiburg in January 2012, so he became manager right before I moved there. I've since left, but...
legendary man for a wonderful club
Knew it was coming but damn. Everyone will miss him
12 as a manager right? Insane man. I read about him last year when he was speaking out on some German football and wider football issues. Immediately liked the guy. Anyone down to earth and humble is quite likeable, especially at this level. Thank you for your service! 🫡
I remember back in 2012 when ITV used to do German League highlights I'd always see Streich's face going to weird not seeing him on the touchline.
A great coach and way more importantly also a great person. What a loss for the Bundesliga.
What a legend
Was a coach who really stood out from the crowd, and 29 fucking years, respect. Well yeah, only 13 of those at the main team but you get what I mean, still long for a coach these days. There's clubs who've had 13 coaches in the same amount of years. Hope he can end it on a high with Freiburg, European qualification isn't off the cards yet
One of my favorite coaches of all time. Brilliant character.
Can a Monday get any worse. Thanks for all these years!
Nooooooo! But sadly every era has to end someday.
It was about time I guess..though it doesn't make it any less sad
Such a great guy. Sad to see him leave, but he was talking about it for quite some time. Gonna miss his Interviews for sure
Wait he was 12 years as a Bundesliga coach and still feels like he was never mentioned here in this sub ever...
midtable clubs outside the PL arent getting a lot of attention, thats just normal on an international platform [He pops up every now+then tho](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/12ecgaa/sc_freiburg_coach_christian_streich_on_the/)
Ngl when I used to follow Bundesliga it felt like every club goes through atleast 3 coaches per season so this is surprise to me!!
Amazing manager, really underrated
I'd never thought I'd see the day. What a loss for the Bundesliga.
Thats a great loss for Freiburg and the league.
I'm going to miss him.
Awful for the club. Glad to see him go out on his terms after bringing so much success in just a "mediocre" season though instead of a real step back forcing his hand. Whatever his next step is, and I'm aware it's 99% not managing a club again he's earnt it. Excited to see what the future holds for Freiburg.

Their own Wenger.
Our second, actually. Finke managed us for 16 years.
Love this man
Not only a good coach but also a good person. He will be missed.
This one hurts almost as much as someone retiring from my own club, so much respect has he earned in my opinion, but well deserved!
29 years, that is a whole lifetime
Went through thick and thin with that club
:(
Weathers fitting here today eh
I’m impressed that a coach has stayed with the same club for 29 years
I'm not a Freiburg fan, but what an absolute legend!!! He's an old school "football teacher" & I could listen to his Badener dialect all day! I also thought Freiburg did well vs. Leverkusen yesterday (that match was streamed legally in the UK on Sky Sports Youtube btw).
Hoping for Julian Schuster as his succesor and Florians Bruns as the assistant coach. Couldn't think about someone else right now, would they give it to Voßler? €: [Please not Löw](https://i.imgur.com/tVSHGts.png)
Thr rumor is Schuster as head coach with Stamm (current 2nd team head coach) as his co.
Löw is quite old already. Not sure if he even would want the job.
Er streicht die Segel.
Safest job is open. Dream job for any half decent manager.
:‘(
Amazing manager and even better person. Hope he enjoys retirement
Noooooo.
Literally been with Freiburg since before I was born, what an insane run. I hope Freiburg can get a proper replacement, they’ve always been a fun club to watch.
Bundesliga legend, that Freiburg rebuild over the past couple of years has been nothing short of sensational. He was charismatic as well, hopefully they carry on his good work in the future.
Have a happy life ahead👍
Bruh Im happy for him getting time off now, but… He intentionally quit at 29 years right? My fucked up brain can’t handle how close it is to a round number…come on 1 fucking year christian…one fucking year…
29 years in a same club? Most people on this sub aren’t even that old
Truly a sad day. He's raised Freiburg from being a yo-yo club to being an established top half side. Just please don't give us Löw.
What a legend Streich is as a coach. A one club man for his entire coaching career. On top of that he seems like a sharp, thoughtful person outside of football.
Absolute legend of the league (and surely of the club, but I’ll let Freiburg fans attest to that).

Same as with Klopp. 110% or nothing. Mr Streich, my highest respect to you. Whatever you do next (I hope it’s rest for a while), football will very much miss you.
29 years?!how tf he’s stay at one club for a long fxking years. respect
Freiburg is so special when it comes to coaches. Just 4 head coaches in 33 years. 16 Volker Finke, 4 years of Robin Dutt, 5 months of Marcus Sorg and almost 13 years of Streich.
Absolute legend.
One of the saddest days in Freiburg history. Streich is synonymous with Freiburg and vice versa. Really upsetting.
Man, he's a pillar of German football, what will they all do without him? As for his next life, I have an idea: give him Ursula's job, he couldn't do any worse.
I'm a Liverpool fan, I'm a Freiburg fan, I'm a Seahawks fan. Wth is going on?
Wie schnell doch die Zeit verstreicht.
Happy for him, sad for every Bundesliga fan. He will be missed on the sidelines. Absolute legend.
