SSV Ulm 1846 is currently facing a profound crisis. For weeks, the football club has been entrenched at the bottom of the 3. Liga table, staring relegation squarely in the face. To compound their woes, Ulm’s aspirations for participating in the highly lucrative DFB-Pokal (German Cup) next season have been shattered after their elimination from the Landespokal (State Cup) following a defeat in Großaspach.
