Hermann Gerland, Hansi Flick’s assistant coach at FC Bayern, is still in demand as a football expert. The national coach wants to take the 68-year-old to the World Cup in Qatar.
Hermann Gerland has a wealth of experience when it comes to football, which he has been bringing to the table as a scout for the senior national team since 2021. He is now experiencing special appreciation for his work from the national coach: Flick does not want to do without the expertise of his long-time companion and former FC Bayern assistant coach at the World Cup in Qatar in November.
Gerland should also “on the pitch”
“Hermann, I want you to go to Qatar with me,” said Gerland in an interview with Blickpunkt Sport. Flick informed him of this. “I’ve been there a few times,” says the “Tiger”.
However, so far not at a World Cup and not as a scout. When the DFB team plays, he will be right up front on the sidelines. Because he should “also be on the pitch,” said Flick. For coach veteran Gerland it is the first participation in a football World Cup.
Over 25 years at FC Bayern
For more than 25 years, Gerland has coached juniors, amateurs and professionals in a variety of roles during his career at FC Bayern. He also promoted the young players and accompanied them on their way to the senior team. His protégés included exceptional players such as Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Thomas Müller and David Alaba.
