Alois Schwartz takes over as Preußen Münster's new head coach in relegation fight
Preußen Münster has named Alois Schwartz as its new head coach. The 55-year-old arrives with the club sitting bottom of the table, just two points from safety. His task is clear: steer the team away from relegation in the final seven matches of the season.
Schwartz takes over from Alexander Ende, who left the club last Monday. The announcement comes ahead of his official unveiling at a press conference on Wednesday morning.
Schwartz brings a wealth of experience from Germany's second tier. Over his career, he has managed 222 matches in the 2. Bundesliga, working with clubs like 1. FC Nürnberg, Karlsruher SC, SV Sandhausen and Hansa Rostock. His most recent role was at 1. FC Saarbrücken in the third division.
At Preußen Münster, he will be supported by assistants Kieran Schulze-Marmeling and Janis Hohenhövel. The club's managing director, Ole Kittner, described Schwartz as a highly experienced coach capable of making an immediate impact. His contract runs only until the end of the season, reflecting the urgency of the situation. With seven games left, the team must close a two-point gap to escape the relegation zone. Schwartz's first challenge will be to stabilise a side that has struggled for consistency all season.
The new head coach faces a tough but straightforward assignment: secure survival in the remaining fixtures. His press conference on Wednesday will outline his approach for the critical weeks ahead. Preußen Münster's fate now rests on his ability to turn results around quickly.
