Backhaus' Journey: A Football Odyssey
Heiner Backhaus, a 43-year-old former professional footballer, has embarked upon a new coaching journey after leading Alemannia Aachen from the Regionalliga West to the 3. Liga. He clinched survival in their last season, paving the way for his career advancement. Backhaus dipped his toes in coaching after his playing days, holding multiple coaching roles before joining Aachen in September 2023. He also earned his DFB Pro License in January 2025.
Backhaus' departure from Aachen occurred despite a contract valid until 2027, a decision driven by the career-enhancing opportunity presented by Eintracht Braunschweig in the 2. Bundesliga, a more competitive environment compared to Aachen. Contract negotiations and a reported six-figure transfer fee paved the way for the switch, although the exact terms remain confidential.
Backhaus plans to bring co-trainer Julius Schell to Braunschweig, while Aachen's Ilyas Trenz will stay put. He has also dismissed rumors of player transfers from Aachen, such as Mika Hanraths and Patrick Nkoa, linking to his move.
Eyeing a fresh challenge, Heiner Backhaus, the newly appointed coach of Eintracht Braunschweig, claimed he would "leave no stone unturned to deliver success in one of the European leagues." As Backhaus transitions from Alemannia Aachen to the Blau-Gelb jersey, he maintains a keen interest in fortifying the ranks, hinting at potential additions to the squad.
