Schröder hails from Regional rival Hertha 03 Zehlendorf, and he's inked a league-independent contract with HFC that runs through June 30, 2027.
Daniel Meyer, the sporting director, spoke up on the matter: "Robert came across as astute and clear-cut during our conversation. His analysis of our players and games, and his dissection of weaknesses and suggested remedies, left us impressed. Beyond his proven track record in promotion campaigns, his local ties, and understanding of the Regionalliga Nordost sealed the deal for us."
Robert Schröder, a native of Erfurt, launched his football aspirations as a player for Rot-Weiß Erfurt. He later moved on to Viktoria Berlin and Hertha 03, finally embracing coaching in 2021.
