Marco Antwerpen Named New Head Coach of VfL Osnabrück

The experienced coach takes over the last-place 3rd Liga team in a bid to avoid relegation, starting with a pivotal match against Rot-Weiss Essen.

Marco Antwerpen, 53, has been appointed as the new head coach of VfL Osnabrück, replacing Pit Reimers after the team's recent struggles in the 3rd Liga.
The club is currently at the bottom of the league table, with an eight-point gap to the potentially safe 16th position ahead of the 18th matchday.
Antwerpen will lead his first training session on Friday and manage the team in Sunday's match against Rot-Weiss Essen, a direct competitor in the relegation battle.
The upcoming match will feature a reunion with Uwe Koschinat, who was Osnabrück's coach until September and was recently hired by Essen to help their survival bid.
Antwerpen brings extensive experience in the 3rd Liga, having successfully avoided relegation with multiple teams and achieving a notable promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga with Eintracht Braunschweig in 2020.
