Overview
- Scherning was officially presented on Monday and takes charge immediately, with his first training session set for Tuesday at 14:00.
- He succeeds Nils Döring, who left at the end of October after results tailed off, with Wehen Wiesbaden currently 13th in the 3. Liga.
- Managing director Uwe Stöver said Scherning fits the club professionally and personally and expects his leadership to provide fresh impetus.
- The 42-year-old most recently coached Eintracht Braunschweig in the 2. Bundesliga for nearly two years and previously managed in the 3. Liga with VfL Osnabrück.
- Wehen opened strongly with seven points from four league games and a narrow 2–3 DFB-Pokal defeat to Bayern, but form dipped and the club now tasks Scherning with stabilizing performances; a friendly against Sportfreunde Siegen precedes a league trip to Mannheim.
