Fresh Take on VfL Osnabrück's New Coach Appointment
Struggling Bundesliga 2 side VfL Osnabrück has tapped Uwe Koschinat as their newest coach. The 52-year-old, who's stepped into the shoes of relegated coach Tobias Schweinsteiger, will tackle his first training session on Monday.
In a candid admission of VfL's precarious situation, Koschinat acknowledged, "The tasks we face are incredibly difficult. There's no denying it. But that's exactly what drives us. Few believe in our potential right now."
Koschinat, who's experienced the ups and downs of coaching, notably guiding the downfall of Bundesliga 2's Arminia Bielefeld last season, yet thriving with 1. FC Saarbrücken, SV Sandhausen, and Fortuna Köln, is no stranger to the challenges ahead. "There are some clubs that just feel like home," he shared, "and I've always had a special connection with VfL. I've always enjoyed their intense matches and relished the trip to their legendary stadium."
While the sources are unclear about Koschinat's current coaching position, it's worth noting that he's previously demonstrated confidence in team selection, remarking, "My decisions are no longer based on gut feelings."
Meanwhile, VfL's recent coaching changes have yielded impressive results, as reported by sources, yet details surrounding their strategy and record are scarce.
