In Stuttgart, Germany, the city’s football club recently announced that head coach Sebastian Hoeness has secured a contract extension through the year 2028. This decision effectively quashes rumors of Hoeness potentially moving to a competing team.
Stuttgart made the announcement that both Hoeness and his assistant, David Krecidlo, have agreed to contract extensions. This duo initially took the reins in April 2023, marking the beginning of their fruitful collaboration with the team.
Sebastian Hoeness, who happens to be the nephew of influential Bayern Munich figure Uli Hoeness, has successfully transformed Stuttgart. Once considered ripe for relegation, the team is now hailed as one of Germany’s leading football squads under Hoeness’s leadership.
Hoeness expressed his commitment to the club’s website, emphasizing the necessity of consistent effort across all levels within the organization. He stressed the importance of evolving and fortifying the team to secure a spot in European competitions over time.
In his tenure thus far, Hoeness has already made significant strides. He managed to prevent Stuttgart from being relegated in 2023, catapulting the team to a commendable second-place finish in the Bundesliga the following season. This remarkable performance earned Stuttgart a place in the Champions League this season, and the team currently sits in 10th place in the Bundesliga standings with eight matches left to play. They are also scheduled to face Leipzig at home in the German Cup semifinals on April 2.
There were whispers of Leipzig considering Hoeness as a replacement for their current coach, Marco Rose. Additionally, previous reports last season indicated Bayern Munich had shown interest in Hoeness.
