VERY SAD NEWS!
Steffen Baumgart, the passionate and charismatic head coach of 1. FC Union Berlin, has shocked the football world by unexpectedly announcing his resignation!
According to internal sources, serious disagreements, growing tensions behind closed doors, and deeply personal reasons ultimately forced Baumgart to make this drastic and heartbreaking decision. What looked from the outside like stability and unity was, in reality, a battle that Baumgart had been fighting quietly for weeks.
Fans, players, and club staff are in disbelief. Many describe the atmosphere in the locker room as “frozen” and “unreal” after the news broke. For Union supporters, Baumgart was more than just a coach — he was a symbol, a fighter, a heartbeat, the man who brought passion, emotion, and identity back to the Alte Försterei.
His sudden departure leaves a huge gap in the fabric of the club — emotionally, tactically, and culturally. Players close to him are said to be devastated, with some even reportedly breaking down upon hearing the announcement. Supporters have already gathered outside the stadium, lighting candles and holding banners thanking him for everything he brought to Union Berlin.
What comes next for the club remains unclear. But one thing is certain:
Union Berlin will never forget Steffen Baumgart — the coach who gave everything and left a legacy of heart, courage, and authenticity.
