VfL Osnabrück Bids Farewell to Coach Tobias Schweinsteiger
In a surprising move, lower-tier soccer club VfL Osnabrück has decided to part ways with head coach Tobias Schweinsteiger. The club released a statement revealing their intent to breathe new life into the team, citing recent performance and team discussions as the reasons behind this decision. For now, assistant coaches Martin Heck and Tim Danneberg will step up to lead the squad, currently languishing at the bottom of the division.
Schweinsteiger, the 41-year-old brother of world champion Bastian, took charge of the team last year in a precarious 3rd division position. His guidance helped propel them to promotion in the second half of the season, an achievement worthy of praise from managing director Michael Welling.
However, the team's struggle to secure victories in the current 2nd Bundesliga season has come at a cost. With a single win out of 13 matches so far, VfL Osnabrück has found itself in a challenging situation. Last Saturday's loss to Eintracht Braunschweig in the basement duel further added to their woes, leaving them at the bottom of the standings.
Aside from the coach change, VfL Osnabrück is planning to revamp its sporting management. The club's advisory board plans to reappoint a sporting managing director who will oversee all sporting matters.
Despite the struggles this season, it's essential to highlight Schweinsteiger's significant contribution to the team's success during the 2021-22 campaign, leading them from the 3rd to the 2nd Bundesliga.
