Union Berlin Coach Steffen Baumgart Criticizes DFB's Yellow Card Rule

Baumgart faces suspension after receiving his fourth yellow card this season during Union Berlin's win over Frankfurt.

Steffen Baumgart, coach of Union Berlin, has criticized the German Football Association (DFB) for its yellow card rule for coaches, calling it 'nonsense' and lacking situational awareness.
Baumgart received his fourth yellow card of the season during Union Berlin's 2-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, resulting in a suspension for the next match against league leaders Bayern Munich.
The yellow card was issued following a dispute with the fourth official, Patrick Schwengers, late in the game, though Baumgart claims he was unaware of the exact reason for the warning.
Baumgart expressed frustration over what he perceives as an increase in coach suspensions compared to players, attributing it to a lack of understanding from officials.
Despite his criticism of the rule, Baumgart acknowledged being pleased with Union Berlin's victory, which came after Frankfurt missed a penalty in stoppage time.
