How Picture reports, the assistant trainer duo Silvio Bankert and Andreas Schumacher will take over the reins.
The first units in Bad Wörishofen have already started. Among the 30 players heading to training camp, there are a few who need special attention. Left-back Samuel Loric is carrying out an individual load control program, while central defender Daniel Heber is currently unable to train fully due to muscular problems. Loric is expected to be able to fully return to training on Thursday. The entire period until July 10th is aimed at targeted fine-tuning for the coming second division season.
