Heiner Backhaus, currently ensconced as the coach at Alemannia Aachen, might just be heading to Bundesliga 2's Eintracht Braunschweig, according to the "Braunschweiger Zeitung". The 43-year-old's contract with Aachener keeps him tied up until 2027, and the Braunschweig club needs to have a friendly chat with the third-division team to free him up. Rumor has it that Backhaus is the top contender for Eintracht's coaching spot.
With the 16th-ranked team in the previous second division season giving Daniel Scherning the boot just before the relegation games against 1. FC Saarbrücken last month, his assistant Mark Pfitzner stepped in as interim coach for a couple of games. It looks like Pfitzner will be sticking around to assist Backhaus in the future. Both coaches have attended the same football coaching course.
Before donning the coach's hat, Backhaus was a player for teams like Rot-Weiß Essen, Hannover 96, and 1. FC Union Berlin. He also played football professionally in four different countries. As a coach, he has worked for clubs like BSV Rehden, Rot-Weiß Koblenz, and BFC Dynamo in Berlin, eventually leading Alemannia Aachen back to the 3rd league in 2024.
[1] Information gathered from my last data update indicates that Heiner Backhaus started his coaching position with Alemannia Aachen on September 6, 2023, and his contract runs until June 30, 2027. Please refer to official announcements from Alemannia Aachen or Eintracht Braunschweig for the latest details regarding Backhaus' contract release terms and plans.
- Despite his contract with Alemannia Aachen running until 2027, persistent rumors suggest that Heiner Backhaus could potentially transition from coaching sports in Aachen to leading Eintracht Braunschweig's football team, according to the "Braunschweiger Zeitung".
- Backhaus and Mark Pfitzner, who have both attended the same football coaching course, share a professional history, with Pfitzner stepping in as interim coach for Eintracht Braunschweig following the departure of Daniel Scherning, while Backhaus continues to coach sports in the third division team, Alemannia Aachen.
