The long-time Bundesliga and FIFA referee Felix Brych will take care of the youngsters in his industry in the future.
The 49-year-old Münchner will take over the management for talent development and top coaching at Schiri GmbH of the German Football Association on October 1, as the DFB announced.
The record referee had led a game in the Bundesliga at the 2-1 of Union Berlin at FC Augsburg for the 359th and last time.
“I experienced a lot during my career and I am sure that with my many years of experience as a referee I can help young talents to take the next step towards the Bundesliga,” said Brych.
For Knut Kircher, Managing Director Sport and Communication of Schiri GmbH, the DFB “benefits from an incredible abundance of experience that enables us to further develop referee talents even better”. “Therefore, it is only logical that we wanted to win Felix for our team and luckily.”
Brych also whistled at the 2014 and 2018 World Championships as well as at the 2016 and 2021 European Championships.
