Josef Zinnbauer fights rumors to protect JS Kabylie project

For several days, JS Kabylie coach Josef Zinnbauer has been at the center of rumors claiming he met club management to draw up a list of players to be released in the next transfer window.

According to Fennecfootball, no such meeting ever took place, and the German coach is fully focused on upcoming matches, which he sees as vital for the team’s stability and cohesion.​

Zinnbauer believes talking now about players leaving would be premature and harmful in a delicate sporting period. He wants to shield his squad from “parasitic noise”, avoid psychological damage to fragile players, and maintain a calm, united dressing room. Since arriving, he has tried to build a culture of discretion, working in silence and taking decisions only at the right time rather than under media pressure.​

The coach is increasingly irritated by unverified stories that he feels can “break the dynamic” he is trying to create. He urges his players to concentrate solely on the pitch as JSK approaches a crucial stretch of games.

On his own future, Zinnbauer thanked supporters he considers “among the best in the world” and explained he is ready to continue if certain professional conditions are met, including better working conditions, modernized internal regulations, and a solution to financial transfer issues that affect him as a foreign coach.
