Overview
- Schwegler was officially presented on Thursday and said he has signed a contract through 2030 as he starts work immediately.
- A decision on the head coach is pending, with U19 boss Daniel Bauer continuing for now without a set end date, according to club leaders.
- Reports differ on compensation for his move from Eintracht Frankfurt, with Sky citing about €500,000 and Bild reporting roughly €300,000, and the club had not disclosed terms earlier.
- He arrives after serving as head of professional football at Eintracht and previously worked as chief scout at Bayern Munich and in a leadership role at Hoffenheim.
- The role became vacant after November dismissals of coach Paul Simonis and sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz, and Schwegler now leads January transfer planning, including a center-forward search reported by German media.
