Eintracht Braunschweig before a coaching change: Is Heiner Backhaus coming?
Eintracht Braunschweig, plagued by coaching changes, is facing a groundbreaking decision. After the dismissal of Daniel Scherning, which took place just a few days before the decisive relegation, the club hoped for interim coach Marc Pfitzner, who could save the team in these critical games. But the wait for a new coach is becoming more and more nerve-wracking, especially for the fans demanding information. Loud News38 Heiner Backhaus, who is currently coaching Alemannia Aachen, could become the new man on the sidelines.
The preferred candidate
Heiner Backhaus, 43 years old, has already made a name for himself in the Oberliga, Regionalliga and 3rd league, although he has never played in the 2nd Bundesliga. His previous coaching stints include clubs such as Inter Leipzig and SG Sonnenhof-Großaspach, and his most recent success was promotion with Alemannia Aachen from the Regionalliga West in 2024. However, despite his success in Aachen, there is a high probability that the club will insist on a transfer for him, as Backhaus is tied to Alemannia until 2027.
Rumors like them Transfer market reports indicate that an agreement has already been reached for a change. Surprising, because Backhaus was apparently satisfied in discussions with his current club and wanted to continue on the path he had chosen with Aachen. The ongoing problems on Alemannia's board could still lead to him looking for new challenges.
The coaching change trend
Against the background of an increasing number of coaching changes in the Bundesliga since the 1963/1964 season, Scherning's change and possible new commitments become even more significant. According to data from Statista The number of coaching changes has increased steadily over the last few decades, which shows how fast-moving the business has become. This development is also relevant for Braunschweig, where fans and management place their expectations and hopes in the next coach.
Regardless of how the negotiations surrounding Backhaus turn out, Eintracht Braunschweig is facing a groundbreaking time. The coming days will show whether the club can find a coach who can stabilize the team and perhaps even lead it into calmer waters.
