Heiko Herrlich Returns as Head Coach of Unterhaching

The former national striker takes on the challenge of rescuing the 3rd Division's bottom team, signing a long-term contract.

Heiko Herrlich, 53, has been appointed as the new head coach of SpVgg Unterhaching, replacing interim coach Sven Bender, who will stay on as assistant coach.
The club, currently last in Germany's 3rd Football League, is six points away from safety and faces a tough fight to avoid relegation.
Herrlich previously coached Unterhaching during the 2011/12 season and expressed optimism about returning to a club he remembers for its strong sense of community.
President Manfred Schwabl highlighted Herrlich's extensive experience and familiarity with the club's philosophy as key reasons for his appointment.
Felix Magath, 71, was initially in talks for the role but ultimately declined, leading the club to finalize Herrlich's hiring ahead of the team's training restart.
