Mirko Slomka, the Hannover coach, believes the contract his club offered him did not reflect what he has achieved.
Slomka has guided the club to third in the table with five consecutive wins, yet he felt his club's offer of a new contract beyond June was not worthy of his achievements.
"We have done some good work and we should be rewarded for this," Slomka said.
"I did not get the feeling that we were."
Slomka has not ruled out finding a compromise to carry on his successful co-operation with the Reds.
"We are still in good negotiations," he said.
Dieter Hecking, the Nuremberg coach, is looking forward to meeting Hannover, his former club, today. "I spent six successful years as a player and a coach in Hannover and that was a great time," he said.
Borussia Dortmund, the league leaders, travel to Eintracht Frankfurt today.

Quick pearls of wisdom
Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”
Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”
