Eintracht Braunschweig fetches Heiner Backhaus as a new trainer!

Eintracht Braunschweig brought a fresh wind to his coaching team. Heiner Backhaus, who worked at Alemannia Aachen until the end, takes responsibility as the new coach of the second division team. After the separation from Daniel Schering, who could no longer enjoy the necessary trust after the last season performance, managing director Benjamin Kessel in Backhaus sees the “exactly right coach” for the challenges that are in front of the club. Backhaus has signed a contract until June 30, 2027 and succeeds Scherning, whose term of office, as the defeat against 1. FC Nürnberg, increased after disappointing results. In particular, Marc Pfitzner, who impressively led the team, secured the relegation in the relegation.

Heiner Backhaus brings with it a wealth of experiences. He has proven his skills as a trainer in various leagues and clubs, including Inter Leipzig and BFC Dynamo. At Alemannia Aachen, he has remarkable successes, such as the promotion to the third division and the subsequent relegation, which underlines his qualifications. His impressive player career included stations in Hannover 96 and international missions in Saudi Arabia and Cyprus before ending his active career at SV Blau-Weiß Farnstädt in 2014.

a new beginning for Braunschweig

With a new sporting leadership, it will be important to set the course for a successful future. Backhaus was already positive about working with the team and the fans, which speaks for a harmonious start of the collaboration. Before moving, he had shown promising performances in the regional league and the current season of the 3rd league, even if the last results with some close games did not quite meet his wishes. Kessel and the Board believe that he has the right hand to control harmony through future challenges.

Although there are reports that indicate uncertainties on the board, Braunschweig dares to take this step towards the future. In the still fresh season, transfers that are held on the playing style of Backhaus are on the agenda. The upcoming preparatory games could be decisive for the integration of his ideas into the team. The knowledge transfer from the previous season could be helpful to ensure a smooth transition and a successful start of the season.

Joy is to inspire fans, and the hope is that Backhaus will lead the team to new heights next season. The coming time will show whether the 50-year-old, who has already experienced a lot in his seven coaching stations, also does a good business in Braunschweig and leads Eintracht back to old strength. One thing is certain: the stadium will surely be full again at the upcoming games, and the anticipation for the new season is tangible.
