Homecoming for Magath: Now the sports director at the Regionalligist club
Felix Magath Returns to Hometown as Sporting Director of Viktoria Aschaffenburg
Felix Magath, the renowned German football manager, is set to take on a new role as the sporting director at Viktoria Aschaffenburg in the Regionalliga Bayern. The announcement was made on Saturday, marking Magath's return to his hometown.
Magath started his footballing journey as a youth player for TV 1860 in Aschaffenburg. His professional career took him to various clubs, including Bayern Munich, where he won the German championship three times and the DFB-Pokal twice. Magath's coaching career has been equally impressive, with stints at clubs like Hamburger SV (HSV), VfL Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, and others.
Recently, Magath sought more influence at HSV, but the supervisory board did not allow him to run for presidency. This new role at Viktoria Aschaffenburg presents an opportunity for Magath to drive the sporting development of the club, which is three leagues lower than his previous attempt with HSV.
Magath has already played for Viktoria Aschaffenburg for two years, and it is expected that he will bring his wealth of experience to the club to help them progress. A members' meeting is scheduled later this year to confirm Magath's position at the club.
It is worth noting that Magath achieved great success with HSV, making his return to a lower league a significant step in his career. Despite this, Magath is known for his resilience and determination, and fans of Viktoria Aschaffenburg are eager to see what he can bring to the club.
