TSV 1860 München Appoints Patrick Glöckner as New Head Coach
The struggling third-division club parts ways with Argirios Giannikis after a series of poor results, with Glöckner tasked to steer the team away from relegation danger.
- Patrick Glöckner, former coach of Hansa Rostock, has been named the new head coach of TSV 1860 München following the dismissal of Argirios Giannikis.
- Giannikis was let go after a disappointing start to 2025, including a 0:4 defeat against 1. FC Saarbrücken, leaving the team just four points above the relegation zone in the 3. Liga.
- Glöckner, 48, has pledged to work intensively to prepare the team for its upcoming match against VfB Stuttgart II, a critical fixture in the club's fight to avoid relegation.
- The club's management cited the need for 'new impulses' to revitalize the team, which has struggled to meet expectations this season despite Giannikis securing their survival last year.
- Nico Masetzky, who previously worked with Glöckner at other clubs, has been appointed as his assistant coach to support the turnaround effort.
