Backroom support for rebbe

Holstein Kiel's under-fire manager Olaf Rebbe has been given the full backing of the club's chairman Andreas Breitner. Rebbe's position has been questioned following the team's dismal form, with Holstein currently sitting in the relegation zone, three points adrift of the safety net.

However, Breitner has publicly reaffirmed his faith in Rebbe, stating that the manager is a crucial cog in the team's wheel and that he believes Rebbe can help the side turn their fortunes around.
