Dynamo Dresden in transition: new head of scouting and urgently needed changes!

Dynamo Dresden is in a difficult situation. After 13 competitive games without a win, the club has now called for a rethink. Those responsible have recognized the signs of the times and are planning some extensive changes. Ex-sports director Thomas Brendel had to vacate his place, which is hardly surprising when you consider the current sporting misery. Trust in the scouting department is low and the structure is not seen as being ready for the second division Picture reported.

Paul Wagner, 26, has now taken over the reins as the new head of the scouting department. Wagner is considered an expert in video viewing and data analysis and has already recommended several players, but they were rejected by coach Thomas Stamm. In order to improve the situation, Wagner will temporarily prepare the winter transfers together with Stamm and financial director Stephan Zimmermann, while the supervisory board would like to plan savings in the press and media department in order to invest more resources in scouting.

New course in the scouting department

Despite Wagner's promising approaches, the supervisory board still sees a need for improvement. For example, a scouting concept was developed that provided for part-time positions and was rated as inadequate. In addition, assistant coach Heiko Scholz will be included in the player screening in order to bring a breath of fresh air into the analyses. The dynamics within the scouting department urgently need to change so that the club doesn't lose touch.

In recent years, Dynamo Dresden's transfer revenues have declined sharply. In total, only 2.4 million euros were achieved in 2022 for players like Königsdörffer and Daferner. The current focus is said to be on three players who have potential to be sold: Jonas Oehmichen, Tony Menzel and Kofi Amoako. It remains to be seen whether the new measures will take effect and bring the necessary results in the coming winter transfer market.

In order to secure the club's sporting future, a new sports director is also being sought. An experienced expert from the league could be brought on board who could provide fresh ideas. So there are big changes in sight, and Dynamo Dresden fans hope that the club will soon be back in calmer waters.
