Coach Schmidt untouchable

According to CEO Holger Sanwald, 1. FC Heidenheim would also be an asset to the Bundesliga because of its personnel policy. “We are a sustainable club in every respect,” said the 56-year-old in an interview with the online portal.Web.de“. “We have a head coach who has the longest tenure of any current coach in German professional football. I myself started 28 years ago in the state league as an honorary head of department.”

“At some other clubs, those responsible have a two- or three-year contract and thus make other decisions because they only have to think about surviving until tomorrow,” said the Swabians’ CEO. “It’s different with us – we could offer real values, real stability and really sustainable decisions in the glittering world of the Bundesliga – without any bling-bling.”

Clubs can save requests for Heidenheim coach Schmidt

An important factor in Heidenheim’s success is long-time coach Frank Schmidt. According to Sanwald, he has not yet received an offer from another club for the 49-year-old. “Other clubs do not need to ask, it is unsuccessful. He has already rejected the inquiries that come in to him because he is true to his word. In the fall of 2021 he extended until 2027 and could have extended it indefinitely if he had wanted to,” said Sanwald. “My colleagues from the other clubs have known this for a long time: you can talk to me about anything, but not about this one topic.”
