Hallescher FC Taps Robert Schröder as New Head Coach in Regionalliga Nordost, Replacing Mark Zimmermann
Zimmermann's successor as HFC's head coach is Schroder - Zimmermann steps down as HFC head coach, with Schröder taking over the position.
In the upcoming 2025/26 season of the football Regionalliga Nordost, Hallesche FC brings on board a new head coach: none other than the seasoned savant, Robert Schröder, aged 37. Schröder takes over from Mark Zimmermann, who exited the team recently, garnering a league-independent contract until June 30, 2027[1][2][3].
The native son of Erfurt made a resounding impression during their personal chat with sports director Daniel Meyer. Not only did Schröder exhibit an impressive understanding of the players and games, but he also effectively pointed out weaknesses and offered plausible solutions, ultimately clinching the deal[4]. Unsurprisingly, factors such as his promotional experience, regional familiarity, and knowledge of the league dynamics played a crucial role in their decision-making process[4].
Schröder's football career commenced playing for Rot-Weiß Erfurt before moving on to Viktoria Berlin and finally landing at Hertha 03 Zehlendorf, where he made the switch to coaching in 2021.
