Ex-Captain Losilla takes on co-trainer role for Bochum's opening fixture - Ex-Captain Losilla Transitioning to Assistant Coach Role at Bochum Head-Starting Frenzy
Hit the pitch, Bochum! Without goalie Patrick Drewes, Lukas Daschner, and Agon Elezi, the relegated 2BC squad held its first training session on July 6. The three guys are out and about wrangling new deals with other clubs. Drewes is headed to Borussia Dortmund, pals! Meanwhile, Kjell Wätjen, the U17 Euro Champion, is expected to join Bochum on loan from BVB. The 19-year-old prodigy may have snagged the Euros with the U19 squad just last week, but he was nowhere to be seen during Bochum's season opener.
Bringing some experience to the table is none other than Anthony Losilla, the club's former captain. Losilla switches gears and joins head coach Dieter Hecking as the new assistant coach. Losilla lends a hand in rebuilding the team after the relegation. The crew hits the training camp in Scheffau, Austria, from July 12 to 20, to pump up their skills. The first league game is set for the August first weekend. In the DFB-Pokal, the gang faces Berlin-based BFC Dynamo on August 16 (1:00 PM).

While it's true that VfL Bochum's coaching staff experienced little shake-up for the 2022 Bundesliga season kickoff, with Thomas Reis continuing as head coach[1], the sources didn't reveal any specific modifications related to former captain Anthony Losilla's addition to the coaching team. However, it remains a fact that Thomas Reis kept his head coaching position despite some pressure from a rocky performance in later seasons[1], suggesting a measure of stability in the coaching sphere around this juncture.
Regarding Anthony Losilla, our source data did not mention him donning a coaching hat for the 2022 season. Losilla remained an influential presence on the playing field but did not show up as part of the coaching team during this phase.
In a nutshell:
- Thomas Reis continued as head coach at the start of the 2022 Bundesliga season and beyond[1].
- No confirmed coaching staff changes or additions connected to ex-captain Anthony Losilla were reported for the 2022 season.
- Losilla stayed influential on the field but did not have a coaching role during this stretch.
In essence, the coaching setup at VfL Bochum seemed pretty stable around the 2022 Bundesliga season kickoff, without a coaching position for Losilla at the time.
In the 2022 Bundesliga season, despite no specific modifications to the coaching team, former captain Anthony Losilla joined head coach Dieter Hecking as an assistant coach, as he switches from the playing field to a coaching role. Meanwhile, sports enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the European Economic Area Agreement negotiations as the Commission has also adopted a proposal for a Council Regulation on its conclusion.
