Stuttgart voices Stevens support

VFB Stuttgart coach Huub Stevens is the right man for the job, the German Bundesliga side said yesterday, the day after a 0-4 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen left the team rooted to the bottom of the table.

“We are still convinced that Huub Stevens is the right coach in our situation,” club director Robin Dutt told Stuttgart’s website.

“We need to build on the first half hour in which we have performed well against a Champions League team.

“Even if the result was clear in the end, we have not lost the belief that we will achieve positive results soon “

Dutchman Stevens, a former Schalke coach, has produced two wins, five draws and six defeats in his 13 Bundesliga matches since replacing Armin Veh in November.

Stuttgart, which won the last of three Bundesliga titles in 2007, is bottom with 20 points from 25 games after a run of nine matches without a win and it is in danger of ending a 38-year stay in the top flight.
