1. FC Heidenheim is in the midst of a crisis – but the club is sticking with its long-standing coach. Despite a meagre points haul and a place at the bottom of the table, Frank Schmidt has been given the vote of confidence by club boss Holger Sanwald. With only five points from eleven games, relegation is looming large. The squad is under scrutiny, and in the next game against 1. FC Union Berlin, the team is hoping to finally secure its first away point with commitment and renewed courage. It's all about ‘Schmidteinander’ (stick together).
