Analysis and views on the game
Christian Titz has done a terrific job since taking over the Hannover 96 helm in July 2025. He has implemented a clear identity based on possession-based football and aggressive, organized pressing to stifle opponents’ chances of success.
Titz’s side are a proactive force in the league that will challenge Nurnberg’s ability to play flexible football and adapt their style on the fly. Miroslav Klose has done well to implement a similarly structured game plan since taking over in June 2024, combining a passion for ball control and possession with a flexible style of play, where they can play with pace or defend in deeper blocks.
Recent results show a mixed record for Klose, but his side put in a strong performance and well deserved a 3-0 victory over Schalke 04 in their most recent home game.
