According to SVS President Jürgen Machmeier, "Our analysis zeroed in on this exact coaching profile, and we believe Olaf Janßen is the perfect man for the job. We're confident that with Olaf Janßen at the helm, we'll return to our lost DNA." Known for his knack for developing young players and his long-term vision, Janßen also has a proven track record for handling structural rebuilds.
Beyond his stints at SV Sandhausen and Viktoria Köln, Janßen has coached a variety of clubs. Notable among them are Dynamo Dresden, VfB Stuttgart, and FC St. Pauli.
