Andreas Schumacher complements the team surrounding head-coach Hannes Wolf from the coming season as individual trainer. The 36-year-old was a youth team trainer at VfB between 2013 and 2016, most recently involved in youth team coaching with Hamburger SV. In the future, Schumacher will assist the professional players at VfB with individual training, based on a strengths-and-weaknesses profile.
VfB Sporting Director Jan Schindelmeiser: "The expansion of the trainer-team, to include Andreas Schumacher, is a consequence from the route we have taken, working with viable, young players and supporting them individually. The experienced players also benefit from the additional content."
