Mario Basler becomes a coach at Türkgücü Osnabrück after losing a bet

“NOZ” report

The former national player Mario Basler takes over the coaching position at the district league club Türkgücü Osnabrück after a lost bet. This was reported by the “New Osnabrück newspaper” on Wednesday. “It’s an honor for us that Mario Basler is volunteering with us as a coach,” said Türkgücü board member Caner Ciftci, who is now even hoping for up to a year and a half’s commitment from the 53-year-old.

According to the report, Basler lost a game of squash to a member of the club. In this case, the former professional from Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich and 1. FC Kaiserslautern had previously agreed to train the promotion candidate of the district league C together with the previous coach. After the end of his playing career, Basler looked after Jahn Regensburg, Eintracht Trier, Wacker Burghausen and Rot-Weiss Oberhausen, among others. Born in the Palatinate, he has been living in Osnabrück for several years.
