Addressing reporters, Zingler confirmed that the club is actively working to secure a new manager and hopes to be able to communicate a final decision in May.\n\nThe current coaching situation has been a topic of intense speculation, and Zingler's remarks offered some clarity on the timeline. He stressed that the process is ongoing, with multiple candidates under consideration, and that the club wants to ensure the right fit for its future ambitions.\n\nAlongside the coach search, Zingler also discussed a broader sporting course change within the club. This indicates a strategic shift in the team's playing philosophy or operational structure, though specific details were not disclosed. The change is expected to align with the new coach's vision.\n\nThe press conference took place just before the members' meeting, highlighting the importance of transparency with the club's supporters. Zingler emphasized that the timetable for a decision is tied to careful evaluation, but they are optimistic about reaching a conclusion in the spring.\n\nMay is a critical juncture, as it typically coincides with the end of the Bundesliga season. Announcing a coach at that point would allow for a full preseason under new leadership. Zingler's comments suggest the club is not rushing the process, prioritizing long-term success over a quick fix.\n\nThe sporting course change was a recurring theme in Zingler's address. While he did not elaborate on specifics, it underscores the club's ambition to evolve and compete at a higher level. This may involve adjustments in recruitment, tactics, or youth development.\n\nWith the members' meeting looming, the president's update was likely aimed at reassuring stakeholders that the club is on track. The hope to finalize the coach search in May gives fans and the media a concrete timeframe to monitor.\n\nBased on reporting from Kicker.","news","Dirk Zingler told a press conference that Union Berlin are hoping to announce a new coach in May, outlining a sporting course change for the club.","332279677802516481","326135624673267712","Bundesliga","0","2026-05-19T19:13:59Z","union-berlin-president-hopes-to-name-coach-by-may","Kicker","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.kicker.de\u002Fzingler-zur-trainersuche-hoffen-im-mai-noch-eine-entscheidung-mitteilen-zu-koennen-1221112\u002Fartikel#omrss","326222707618222080","Dender",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71],"326255038034874368","326257568773050368","326257613454970880","326257615203995648","326257630680977408","326257661421031424","326257672598851584","326257534648193024","326257745512632320","326222707169431552","326257545754710016","326257546392244224","326257554411753472",[57,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85],"FSV Mainz 05","Vorskla Poltava","Renaissance Berkane","FC Zurich","Beroe","Denmark","Derry City","Union Berlin","Members","Anderlecht","Newcastle","Nottingham Forest","Newcastle Jets","Union Berlin President Hopes to Name Coach by May",[88,115,137,162],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":89,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":90,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":91,"slug":92,"sourceName":54,"sourceURL":93,"teamId":94,"teamName":95,"teamIds":96,"teamNames":105,"title":114},"Hamburg SV secure Grönbaek's stay, RB Leipzig plan with Diomande, and the Stage transfer poker continues – get the latest updates from Kicker.","337743388554039297","2026-06-03T21:46:52Z","gronbaek-remains-at-hsv-rb-commit-to-diomande","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.kicker.de\u002Ftransferticker-953155\u002Fartikel#omrss","326255039712595968","Başakşehir",[94,97,98,99,100,101,102,68,103,104],"326257534270705664","326257580877811712","326257599160782848","326257760532434944","326257783785656320","326257534526558208","326222713142120448","326257565635710976",[95,106,107,108,109,110,111,82,112,113],"Werder Bremen","Mito Hollyhock","Istra 1961","İstanbulspor","Istres","RB Leipzig","Canada","Getafe","Grönbaek Remains at HSV, RB Commit to Diomande",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":116,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":117,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":118,"slug":119,"sourceName":54,"sourceURL":93,"teamId":120,"teamName":121,"teamIds":122,"teamNames":129,"title":136},"Bayern Munich target Saibari and Dest this summer, while Köln trigger buy option for Kamiński.
