Andreas Kronenberg from SC Freiburg will be the new goalkeeping coach for the German national soccer team.
First of all, the 46-year-old Swiss will work alongside his job in Freiburg for the German Football Association (DFB) in the coming Bundesliga season, said SC coach Christian Streich on Friday.
“He's going to be working mostly with us.
If there are internationals, he'll be there, ”Streich said.
“I'm happy for him and the DFB, not for us.
We are losing a very close employee who has great quality, both personally and professionally. «» Sport Bild «had previously reported on the change.
In the summer of 2022, Kronenberg will finally switch to the DFB.
At the request of the new national coach Hansi Flick, he will succeed the long-time goalkeeping coach Andreas Köpke in the national team.
"I can congratulate the DFB on getting the crown," said Streich.
“That was Krones' wish.
He's been with us for ten years now. «The former Swiss goalkeeper has been with Breisgauer since 2011 and during that time has trained goalkeepers like Roman Bürki, Alexander Schwolow and Florian Müller.
