New coaching team of the 1. FC Köln: Returns bring a breath of fresh air!

Köln, Deutschland - The 1. FC Köln does nails with their heads and has completed his coaching team for the coming season in the Bundesliga. Under the direction of the new head coach Lukas Kwasniok, a powerful team is now available, which consists of old well -known and fresh wind. Bild Week should take place.

The returnees include Frank Kaspari (54) and René Wagner (36), both of whom had previously worked at the Geißbockheim. Kaspari was an assistant coach under Markus Gisdol and was largely responsible for the loan players, while Wagner recently worked under Steffen Baumgart. His move to Hamburger SV and Union Berlin shows that he is very popular in the football world. But now Cologne is happy about his return. Hannes Dold, who has been active in game analysis at FC for almost twelve years, also gets a more important role in the coaching team and will act as an assistant coach.

familiarity on the coaching bank

A great advantage of the new composition is the familiar way of working. Kwasniok has already worked with Kaspari at SC Paderborn, which the team structure can only strengthen. "I'm looking forward to the collaboration," said Kwasniok on the club's regular table. All co-trainers who signed contracts by June 30, 2028 bring a mix of expertise and identification that sports director Thomas Kessler particularly emphasizes.

The head coach remains sole responsibility for the team, but has the support of his assistant coaches who can take on a variety of tasks. In practice, this can mean that one of the co-trainers takes responsibility for training a specific group or brings tactical advice during the games. According to Sportlexikon the co-trainer is an important part of the coaching staff and has a crucial role in the development of the team.

starting shot for the new season

The first training session at the Geißbockheim is scheduled for July 7, and the team is previously brought up to scratch by performance and health checks. With the proven fitness, rehabilitation and athletics trainers and the experienced keeper coach Peter Greiber, who came to Cologne last summer, the basic structure of the coaching system remains intact. Greiber has already worked successfully with goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe, which promises additional stability.

There will still be a change in the team. Thomas Hickersberger, who was responsible for standards as an assistant coach, will leave FC. His commitment last season is recognized by Kessler, who wishes him all the best for the future. Cologne faces an exciting league season with a coaching team that consists of experience, familiarity and a clear plan.
