Hamburg coach Thomas Doll insists he is not considering throwing in the towel.

The Rothosen have failed to win a single match this season and are second from bottom in the Bundesliga.

They have also lost their opening three group games in the UEFA Champions League and the pressure is mounting on Doll.

However, Doll still believes he has the ability to turn things around:

He explained: "It's not about me. If I had the feeling that things were no longer working, then I'd say 'Thank you, that was that. I've had two great years'.

"But I haven't reached that point yet.

"This club is a part of me and I can still see how hard people are working within the management.

"I won't let the current situation get me down as that would just make things worse.

"In fact the opposite is the case. I'm going to lead from the front to ensure that we win (our next game) in Leverkusen."

The 40-year-old coach also received backing from club chairman Bernd Hoffmann, who described him as a "huge coaching talent."

There are a lot of people here who are prepared to fight for this club's future - in the team, amongst the coaching staff and on the board," Hoffman said.
