Almost ten months after his dismissal as FC Augsburg coach, Martin Schmidt (53) is back on the Bundesliga stage!
According to “Bild”, Valais will be part of a great castling at FSV Mainz 05. Christian Heidel (57) will once again be the club’s strong man after four years of absence, serving as the new manager.
He should not only bring a new coach with him, but also an old teammate: Schmidt! He was still Mainz coach when Heidel left in 2016; he will now become the sporting director for Rhineland-Palatinate.
Lichte will probably be released
According to “Bild”, Schmidt, who recently worked as a television expert after his coaching positions in Wolfsburg and Augsburg, recently ran for sports director in Mainz. Now it works!
Someone else has to make room for that: coach Jan-Moritz Lichte (40) should be released today, Monday. Who will be his successor is still open.
Another gap closes: after the resignation of sports director Rouven Schröder (45), two true Mainz connoisseurs jump into the gap. Heidel still enjoys cult status in the city. And Schmidt, once a coach of five years with the reserves and two years with the pros, knows exactly what to expect at FSV. (mpe)
