Change of coach at SSV Ehingen-Süd: Bochtler goes, Ruiz comes!

Ehingen, Deutschland - Michael Bochtler will stop as a coach of the association league SSV Ehingen-Süd at the end of the season. His successor becomes Kevin Ruiz, who comes from the club's own ranks. This decision marks the end of an era for Bochtler, who will no longer celebrate his tenth anniversary at the club because he should have stayed longer for a season, like swp.de reported.

Bochtler took over the coaching position at SSV Ehingen-Süd in summer 2016 after Klaus Dorn resigned for family-related reasons. Previously, Bochtler was a coach at TSG Ehingen from 2012 to 2014 and played 54 Bundesliga games for VfB Stuttgart and St. Pauli as an ex-professional. Helmut Schleker, head of football at SSV Ehingen-Süd, described Bochtler as an ideal occupation for the club, who wants to establish himself in the top field of the Landesliga. The team currently occupies fourth place in the table with 35 points from 17 games, such as Schwäbische.de reported.
