Modern structures in the coaching team

A look at modern coaching teams in professional football shows that the areas of responsibility are becoming increasingly complex. Today's trainers no longer only have responsibility for training, but also take on mental aspects, nutritional advice and more. Coaching teams that are among the most successful are often larger and integrate different specialists. Developments show that most of the representatives of this new structure are in the Bundesliga, not just in the 2nd division. fussballtraining.de describes that coaching teams increasingly consist of assistant coaches, goalkeeper trainers and other specialists in order to bundle a wide range of skills. These teams can bring advantages particularly in critical situations, which sets them apart from previous models, where the focus was often only on one head coach.

With Heiner Backhaus at the helm and a well-mixed coaching team, Eintracht Braunschweig is relying on a promising strategy that could bring a breath of fresh air into the coming season. Fans can be excited to see how these new structures will unfold over the course of the league.
