Herrlich apologized and ruled himself out of the game, his first in charge of the club.
DUSSELDORF, Germany — Augsburg coach Heiko Herrlich will miss his team’s first game when the German soccer league resumes Saturday because he broke quarantine rules to buy toiletries.
“We’re in quarantine in the hotel and aren’t really supposed to go out. However there are situations which just require it,” Herrlich told a news conference earlier in the day. “I had no toothpaste, it was running out, and no more skin cream, and then I went in my training uniform to a supermarket nearby.”
The game against Wolfsburg was to be Herrlich’s first game in charge of 14th-place Augsburg. He was appointed in March but had yet to oversee a game because the league was suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic. Also Thursday, it was confirmed that Bundesliga clubs will be allowed to use five substitutions per game when the season resumes.
