Streich extends at SC Freiburg: In the top leagues only Simeone is longer in office

“Very special constellation”

SC Freiburg can also count on the services of successful coach Christian Streich in the coming season. On Tuesday, the Bundesliga club announced the extension with the 57-year-old and his team. As usual, the Breisgauer did not provide any information about the duration of the new contracts.

“We are really happy to be able to continue working in this very special constellation in terms of content and people,” said board member Jochen Saier on the sports club’s homepage. “The coaching team around Christian Streich works day after day with great attention to detail and with maximum commitment on the development of our team. We are staying on our path and will continue this very trusting and successful cooperation beyond the current season.”

Streich has held various positions at the club since 1995 and took over as head coach in December 2011. In the Bundesliga, no other coach is longer in office, in the top European leagues only Diego Simeone from Atlético Madrid has surpassed the mark by six days.
