FC Koln started her Bundesliga campaign in perfect style and won both opening games, with the youngest being a dominant 4-1 victory over Freiburg. Although the results were impressive, it is manager Lukas Kwasniok who puts himself in the spotlight.
Instead of the usual suit or training suit, the Polish trainer Koln’s his own match shirts turned his head on the side.
On the opening weekend, he wore the away shifts against Mainz before moving to the third kit for the Freiburg Clash.
Kwasniok said the decision and said he wanted to show his commitment to the association.
“I saw the Jersey presentation at a sponsor event and received goosebumps. And the same with the Black Jersey. Then the decision was clear to me: If I can do it, I will do it,” he said in an interview after the game that Koln’s opening day won against Mainz. “I want to commit myself for this club and I also proudly wear this jersey.”
With a grin he also admitted that there was a personal reason behind the decision: “I thought that the combination of black and white red makes a little slimmer. After what I saw on TV after the game, it didn’t work so well.”
Koln is now in third place in the Bundesliga behind only Bavaria Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt. And with swing on the side, it is unlikely that someone will make up something when your manager rocks the club colors every weekend.
