HSV's coach Baumgart on missing out on promotion: "Angry and sad right now"

An enthralling win over city rivals St. Pauli last Friday night ultimately proved insufficient for prestigious Hamburger SV to keep their slim hopes of returning to Germany's footballing "Oberhaus" alive. A loss to current head-coach Steffen Baumgart's former club of SC Paderborn 07 leaves even the relegation playoff place out of the grasp of the Hanseatic club. HSV - the last of the Bundesliga's sides to ever be relegated - will spend their seventh consecutive season in the 2. Bundesliga.

Speaking to the Sky microphones following loss, Baumgart noted that the performance away at his old side simply featured "too many errors". The 52-year-old acknowledged that - when he took the job - "there was little to suggest that we would be promoted". Not absolving himself of responsibility either, Baumgart also admitted that the four losses in 11 fixtures under his command "shouldn't have happened".
