FC Ingolstadt 04 coaching change

Overview

FC Ingolstadt 04 dismissed Sabrina Wittmann as head coach of their men's team in the German 3. Liga following a period of poor performance. Wittmann, who had previously made history as the first woman to hold a head coaching role for a professional men's team in Germany's top three tiers, was removed after the team suffered three defeats in four matches, leaving them in 13th place.

Club sports director Harald Gärtner stated the dismissal was necessary to “provide a new impulse and realign the team's sporting direction.”

Achim Beierlorzer was appointed to succeed Wittmann. Following his appointment, Beierlorzer began training sessions with the squad, emphasizing high intensity and collective defensive play. The team, then sitting in 14th place, prepared for a friendly against 1. FC Nürnberg and an upcoming competitive match against SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
