Cologne appoints a young prodigy as Technical Director - Cologne appoints a young professional as the new technical director.
FFC Cologne, the Bundesliga's fresh newcomer, is shaking up its sporting leadership. A day after announcing Lukas Kwasniok as their new head coach and just a few weeks after promoting Thomas Kessler, a former player, to the role of sporting director, Lukas Berg has been crowned technical director. The club made the announcement on Saturday.
The young 31-year-old previously served as head of the Cologne youth academy and will now be teaming up with Kessler in the sports department. "We are certain that Thomas Kessler and Lukas Berg will steer the sporting future of the FC as a dynamic duo," said FC managing director Philipp Türoff.
Kessler had already took charge of the sporting director role after the departure of the former sporting director Christian Keller in the season's final stages. The position of technical director was specifically created for Berg.
Despite widespread coverage about Lukas Berg's role and background within the U21 team of FC Köln as the Sporting Director and Head of Academy for the 2024/25 season [1], the search results do not provide extensive information about his role or background as the Technical Director for 1. FC Cologne. More specific sources or official announcements from 1. FC Cologne would be necessary for comprehensive details about his position with the club.
