Marcel Rapp is taking over as coach of FC St. Pauli and wants to stabilize the club in the 2. Bundesliga. The 47-year-old knows the challenges of the league from his own experience. After Holstein Kiel's relegation, he faced the same situation and had to quickly adapt to the new league. "The biggest mistake is to think you're still a top-flight team and play in the second division like a top-flight team. Then you have no chance. You have to accept the league and respect the league." Rapp wants to stabilize the club in the 2. Bundesliga and has already made plans for the new season. "Run, fight, passion" is the first order for his new team. "And in addition, we also want to play good football. And then we're also ready to stay in the league." Schuster has expanded the coaching staff to support Rapp in his new role.
