Hoffenheim was able to announce its future head coach the day after the final celebrations after the championship in Switzerland with FC Zurich. Of course, this was made possible by an exit clause that André Breitenreiter had far-sightedly incorporated into his contract. For a moderate fee of 300,000 euros, the 48-year-old was able to get out a year before the end of the contract. A bargain compared to the millions that have recently been paid in the Bundesliga to buy out head coaches elsewhere.
As reported by kicker, two more employees are to move from Zurich to Kraichgau. But here the Swiss are proving to be stubborn negotiators. Zurich gambles for the fee for assistant coach Darius Scholtysik (55) and analyst Fabian Sander (37), who cannot draw any exit clauses. According to reports, the Swiss champion is demanding around twice the compensation payment that was made for Breitenreiter. The negotiations continue.
Also talks about Kaltenbach
Because Breitenreiter will also have the employees he trusts around him at TSG. Scholtysik first worked with Breitenreiter in Zurich and previously assisted head coach Torsten Lieberknecht in Duisburg and Braunschweig in Germany. Sander was in various functions in different clubs. In Cottbus he worked as a scout and video analyst, also in Koblenz, formerly at Wormatia Worms in marketing and management and as branch manager. Since January 2019, Sander has been the chief analyst at FC Zurich.
Meanwhile, the talks about Matthias Kaltenbach continue. Hoffenheim’s longtime assistant coach, with whom TSG would like to plan further, is being courted by Ajax Amsterdam and their designated head coach Alfred Schreuder. exit open.
