New assistant coach for Hansa Rostock: Gellhaus brings experience!
FC Hansa Rostock recently expanded its coaching team and brought Markus Gellhaus, an experienced football professional, on board. Gellhaus, 55 years old, will work as an additional assistant coach alongside head coach Daniel Brinkmann and will bring a breath of fresh air into the team. This reports Kicker.
Equipped with an impressive CV, Gellhaus is looking forward to his new challenge in Rostock. He was most recently assistant coach at Samsunspor in Turkey, where he terminated his contract early due to personal reasons. Previously, he gained extensive experience in the Bundesliga, including at prominent clubs such as FC Schalke 04, VfL Bochum and Hannover 96.
Expansion of the coaching staff
Gellhaus will complement the coaching team with Daniel Brinkmann, Marcus Rabenhorst and Dirk Flock. Sports director Amir Shapourzadeh describes Gellhaus as the optimal solution for strengthening the coaching team and is confident that its specialist knowledge and experience will provide positive impulses. The assistant coach not only brings his UEFA Pro license with him, but could even take on the role of boss in an emergency. He has known Brinkmann for over two decades; the two played together at SC Paderborn and Augsburg during their playing days. Gellhaus describes Brinkmann as a talented and ambitious coach who has the potential to work at the top of football.
The first half of the season has been difficult for Hansa Rostock so far: with only eleven points after ten games, they are currently in 15th place in the table. The team is now going into the game against SV Wehen Wiesbaden with new energy, which takes place on Saturday at 2 p.m. Gellhaus started working alongside the professionals on Tuesday and hopes to get the team on track quickly. This new addition could be exactly what the team needs now to get out of the bottom of the table.
A strong coaching team
Markus Gellhaus is seen as an addition to the existing coaching team. Many hope that his extensive experience in international football and his long-standing familiarity with Brinkmann will mean that Rostock can quickly put their previous failures in the league behind them. It is clear that Hansa Rostock not only needs new players, but also fresh ideas in order to consolidate the path they have taken in the 2nd Bundesliga.
For Gellhaus, returning to Germany is an ideal opportunity to put his knowledge and skills to the service of the club. Now it remains to be seen how his entry and cooperation with the existing team will affect FC Hansa Rostock's performance. The first nights of the new days are now beginning, and the fans can be excited to see whether the new assistant coach will turn things around.
The developments in the current coaching team and the impending pressure to emerge from the lower table region, combined with Gellhaus’ expertise, make people sit up and take notice. We'll soon know whether the feeling that something is going on turns out to be true.
