VfL Bochum Rears Its Head Again: Anthony Losilla Steps In as Assistant Coach
Ex-Captain Losilla Beginning Co-Training Duties for Bochum's Season Start - Bochum's New Appointment: Losilla Switches Roles from Player to Coach
Hey, football fans! For those of you who've missed the grit and determination of VfL Bochum, get ready to cheer again! After their recent relegation from the Bundesliga, the team's back, and they've got a familiar face joining the crew. Let's dive in!
Wave those flags
The Bochum squad hit the pitch minus a few key players, with goalies Patrick Drewes, Lukas Daschner, and Agon Elezi granted permission to negotiate with other clubs. There's a buzz about Drewes joining Borussia Dortmund, and in exchange, 19-year-old Kjell Wätjen - U17 European Champion and Dortmund talent - might be loaned to Bochum. Wätjen, who was still representing Germany's U19 team just last week, was sadly absent from Bochum's season opener.
Bring on the excitement!
Former captain, Anthony Losilla, has moved from the player side to join head coach Dieter Hecking as the new assistant coach. Losilla, a pro with Bochum for over a decade, is no stranger to this team – and they're thrilled to have him back. He'll be instrumental in rebuilding the team during their relegation recovery. Before they hit the road, the crew will head to Austria's Scheffau for a training camp from July 12 to 20. Mark your calendars! Their first league game kicks off during the first weekend in August. Next on the agenda is a trip to Berlin, where they'll take on DFB-Pokal side BFC Dynamo on August 16 (1:00 PM).
The comeback of a legend
Losilla's transition from player to assistant coach indicates that Bochum values his wisdom and influence greatly. As a leader on the pitch, his guidance was invaluable, and now, he'll focus on mentoring players and contributing to the club's ambitious plan to get back to the top. Despite the lack of specifics in the available sources regarding his coaching duties during the rebuilding phase, one thing is clear: Losilla is a key player (no pun intended) in Bochum's reemergence.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Bochum boys continue to make a mark in the world of football!
The Commission has also adopted a proposal for a Council Regulation on the conclusion of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, which could potentially open up new avenues for sports exchange programs, including the recruitment of European League football talents to boost teams like VfL Bochum, as they strive for rehabilitation and a return to the Bundesliga. Fans of European football leagues might be intrigued to see how these regulations could potentially impact the transfer market in the upcoming seasons.
