Rhein-Neckar Löwen Coach Sebastian Hinze to Depart at Season's End

The decision not to renew Hinze's contract stems from differing views on the club's sporting direction, despite prior successes under his leadership.

Sebastian Hinze, head coach of the Rhein-Neckar Löwen since 2022, will leave the team after his contract expires in summer 2025.
The club and Hinze mutually agreed not to renew the contract due to differing visions for the team's future strategy.
Hinze led the team to a DHB-Pokal victory in his first season and a European League semifinal appearance last season, though Bundesliga results have been inconsistent.
The Löwen currently sit seventh in the Bundesliga standings and are set to compete for a spot in the DHB-Pokal Final Four later this week.
Löwen management expressed gratitude for Hinze's dedication while emphasizing their focus on ending the season strongly and finding a new coaching team.
