The commenter sold it as a “fat thing” when it was just a mistake…
During the broadcast of the DFB Cup game between 1. FC Köln and Hamburger SV on Sport1 on Monday evening, the broadcaster announced breaking news: Dimitrios Grammozis (43) is no longer the coach of FC Schalke 04!
Commentator Markus Höhner (56): “Stefan, now comes a fat message. Wow. That’s awesome, dear football friends. Now comes a big message, from Schalke. According to FC Schalke, Dimitrios Grammozis has been fired. At S04. That’s a big thing.”
Stefan means Stefan Effenberg (53), an expert at Sport1.
Only: Schalke had not announced anything. Grammozis continues to coach S04.
Apparently, the broadcaster fell for a fake account with the Schalke logo and passed on this information without checking it again. Commentator Höhner probably noticed that too, apologized and corrected his mistake.
Saturday evening would be perfect for a personal apology from Sport1. The Munich broadcaster is broadcasting the game between S04 and Erzgebirge Aue (8:30 p.m.). Probably with Grammozis on the bench.
