Max Uhlig, previously the coach of the Young Violets, was appointed as the interim head coach. Sport Director Tomas Zorn stated that Uhlig’s familiarity with the club made him the best candidate for the role. The club intends to evaluate Uhlig’s performance and football philosophy during the winter break.
