VFL Osnabrück on verge of sealing deal with coach Schultz - VFL Osnabrück close to sealing deal with coach Schultz for new contract terms.
Get ready for a new era at Osnabrück's football club, folks! Former Bundesliga coach Timo Schultz is knocking on the door of the third-division side VfL Osnabrück, according to buzz from the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung", "Reviersport", and "Kicker". Looks like we're gonna have a front-row seat to see this football whiz in action!
Since wrapping up a stint with Marco Antwerpen in May last year, the club's been shopping for a new coach. Antwerpen took the reins in December 2024 and kept the team from tumbling, but alas, the club decided it was time for a change ‘ahead of the upcoming season.
This guy Schultz? He's no stranger to the fame. He made headlines as the man at the helm of FC St. Pauli after July 2020. Yep, before that, he wove his magic mainly in the youth sector of the Kiezclub.
After weaving his spells at FC St. Pauli, Schultz headed to FC Basel for a quick stint, from July to the autumn equinox of 2023. Come January 2024, he swaggered into 1. FC Köln, but couldn't keep their first-division status intact. After the season's end, he had to bid the team farewell.
