Patrick Baier has now been at the club for 20 years and, having worked with the first team for ten years, is the longest serving member of our current coaching team. However, Baier maintains a certain distance: while his colleagues mostly watch games from the dugout, Patrick Baier makes his observations from the stands. As well as taking care of the pre-match opposition analysis, the assistant coach also provides a tactical view ‘from above’, which can help the team to make necessary adjustments. He may be a little farther from it, but the 51-year-old plays a key role in the action.
