Alemannia Aachen Names Mersad Selimbegovic Head Coach Through 2027

The hire ends a weeks-long search shaped by licensing limits on the interim setup.

Overview

  • Interim coaches Ilyas Trenz and Carsten Wissing return to assistant roles after two victories, as neither holds the required A‑license for a longer stint.
  • Aachen sits 15th in the 3. Liga with a two‑point cushion over the relegation places, underscoring the need for quick stabilization.
  • Sporting director Rachid Azzouzi cited Selimbegovic’s structured approach, player development focus, and attention to youth as key reasons for the appointment.
  • Selimbegovic previously managed Jahn Regensburg, Hansa Rostock, and most recently KAS Eupen, where he averaged about 1.1 points across 30 matches.
  • He has started work at the club, leading his first training session, with his debut set for Sunday at VfB Stuttgart II.
