New coaching team at Eintracht Braunschweig: Fejzic and Schell on board!

Eintracht Braunschweig is bringing a breath of fresh air to the coaching team. On June 25, 2025, Heiner Backhaus was hired as the new head coach. At the same time, the club announced that the line-up of assistant coaches would also be reorganized. With him, Jasmin Fejzic and Julius Schell come on board to further strengthen the coaching team. These decisions were made in the middle of a critical phase in which Eintracht has to redefine its goals for the coming period after a mixed season.

Fejzic, who previously worked as a goalkeeper, took over goalkeeping training on an interim basis during the relegation. His experience and his connection to the club could make a decisive contribution to stabilizing the team. Julius Schell, who formerly played for Alemannia Aachen, will take responsibility for video analysis and brings valuable knowledge from his time under Backhaus. His move to the coaching staff is a move that could prove to be a smart move, especially since he had to end his career early due to a knee injury.

The squad remains strong

The assistant coaches Marc Pfitzner and Marcel Goslar also remain on board. Goslar, who has been part of Eintracht Braunschweig since summer 2021, has extended his contract. He is about to celebrate his fifth anniversary with the club. Managing director Benjamin Kessel was very positive about the recent coaching decisions and praised the performances of Pfitzner and Goslar during the relegation. Their work was primarily aimed at getting the team back on track after the team showed a negative trend in the last two games of the regular season: 0:3 against SV Elversberg and 1:4 against 1. FC Nürnberg.

Kessel praises the abilities of Goslar and Pfitzner. These two have already gained valuable experience in the past season and can now bring new approaches to training work with Backhaus, Fejzic and Schell. It remains to be seen how the new coaching team will affect the team's performance.

A new start

The change in the coaching bench follows a period in which previous coach Daniel Scherning was under pressure. Just a few days before the decisive relegation games, Scherning was replaced by Pfitzner after the club suffered several bitter defeats in the regular season. Scherning had saved the club from relegation the previous year, but confidence in him was severely damaged after the last results. Pfitzner, who already acted as interim coach for a short time in October 2023, should now bring a breath of fresh air both on the pitch and in training.

With these changes, Eintracht Braunschweig would like to set the course for a more successful future. Those in charge are aware of the challenges and hope that the new team around Heiner Backhaus can get the club back to winning ways. The fans can be curious to see what effect this change will have and what successes the coaching team can bring.
