The coaching search at Eintracht Braunschweig has not yet been successful. According to reports, those responsible are said to have chosen a desired candidate.
Is Eintracht Braunschweig a solution in the coaching question very close? Since Daniel Schering was released before the relegation games against the 1st FC Saarbrücken, BTSV identification figure Marc Pfitzner has been responsible. The former Eintracht professional jumped in as an interim coach and achieved relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga with the team. The fact that he will continue to lead the skill in the future does not seem to be the plan.
As the Pay TV broadcaster “Sky” and the “Braunschweiger Zeitung” unanimously report, there is an external candidate that the BTSV managers strive for. According to this, Heiner Backhaus from third division Alemannia Aachen is to be at the top of the list of harmony. Even more: According to the “BZ”, Eintracht with the 43-year-old should even agree on future cooperation.
However, with its current club from Aachen, one would have to agree on a transfer fee. Because: Backhaus’ contract on the Tivoli is still valid until 2027. There he had made a promotion to the 3rd division with Aachen in his first season 2023/24. In the past season he and his team reached a solid twelfth place in the table as a promoted.
Before his engagement in Aachen, he was under contract in his previous coaching career at Inter Leipzig (2014 to 2019), BSV Rehden (2019 to 2020), Sonnenhof-Großaspach (January to February 2020), RW Koblenz (2020 to 2022) and BFC Dynamo (2022 to 2023).
