Fortuna Düsseldorf faces internal power struggle after poor season start

Fortuna Düsseldorf is facing internal instability following a poor start to their 3. Liga campaign. After losing their first two matches against Waldhof Mannheim and TSG Hoffenheim II, the club is reportedly dealing with a power struggle within its supervisory board.

Reports indicate the existence of a faction within the club that remains critical of head coach Alexander Ende. This group reportedly favors Friedhelm Funkel for the position. The tension stems from previous disagreements regarding the coaching decision made in April, when Ende replaced Markus Anfang to prevent relegation.

Despite the mounting pressure and rumors regarding his job security, Alexander Ende is expected to remain in his position for the time being. The club's recent performance has caused significant unrest among fans, with some calling for his dismissal during recent matches.
