Daniel Bierofka played for Unterhaching in the C youth - now he should return as a U17 coach.
Schwabl: "There is nothing to confirm and nothing to deny."
In the first leg win against Duisburg (3-2) at the end of November, Daniel Bierofka was back at the Grünwalder Stadion for the first time since his departure from TSV 1860.
In our interview afterwards, the lion idol said: "It's quite normal for coaches to watch football games.
It's also about staying in the carousel.
In the near future I might be able to sit in the stands in Unterhaching or somewhere else.”
Five months later, it is becoming clear that the Biero carousel could actually stop at the Hachinger Sportpark.
As merkur.de learned, the Urlöwe is to take over the U 17 of the SpVgg from summer, which finished the season in second place in the B-Junior Bundesliga.
Red-blue instead of white-blue.
Coach bench instead of grandstand seat.
In line with Bierofka's announcement in our interview on November 25: "I could also imagine going back into the training sector." At 1860, this task would have been "a lot of fun".
Proximity to home - an "important factor" for Biero
Bierofka also revealed at the time that being close to home would be an important “factor” when looking for a job: “My son is now 16. I would like to be there for him and his family during this important phase.
If something were to come that was further away, then it would have to fit 100 percent.
Let's see what flies in."
An offer from Manni Schwabl, 56, who, like Bierofka, once wore the captain's armband at 1860, then flew in.
The president of SpVgg had never made a secret of his respect for the lions' promotion coach.
For a short time, when Arie van Lent wobbled in Haching's relegation year, the native of Munich was even a serious topic in the sports park.
"Basically, I appreciate Biero very much," said Schwabl in June 2021, referring to Bierofka's contract with Wacker Innsbruck, which "currently" prohibits serious thinking about working together.
At that time, Sandro Wagner took over as head coach.
In the future, Bierofka will assist him and fine-tune the recognized first-class talents made in Haching.
The U17s are almost the most important team in the club – as with Karim (Adeyemi), important revenues are generated here for the club.

At the request of merkur.de, Schwabl said: "There is nothing to confirm and nothing to deny - because no final decision has been made." Hachings U 17 has been successfully trained by NLZ boss Marc Unterberger, 33, since 2018.
Schwabl explained: “We have a lot of discussions, internally and externally.
The U17s are almost the most important team in the club – as with Karim (Adeyemi), important revenues are generated here for the club.”
Preferred candidate Bierofka recently told the sports information service (sid): "My battery is fully charged again.
I used the free time to develop myself and my idea of football.” Full of zest for action, he added: “The motivation is there, my ambition is still huge.
I am definitely ready for a new task.”
