VfL Bochum Eager to Extend Dieter Hecking's Tenure Beyond Current Season

The Bundesliga's bottom-placed team credits Hecking with stabilizing their performance and plans to discuss his future soon.

VfL Bochum's management has expressed strong interest in retaining head coach Dieter Hecking beyond the end of the current Bundesliga season.
Hecking, who joined the team in November on a short-term deal, has overseen two wins and four draws in 11 matches, improving the team's stability.
Sport director Ilja Kaenzig praised Hecking's experience and leadership, stating that he has significantly benefited the club regardless of their league standing.
While Kaenzig is optimistic about convincing Hecking to stay, the coach has emphasized his current focus on securing the team's survival in the Bundesliga.
Formal discussions regarding Hecking's future are expected to take place soon, though the coach remains noncommittal until the season's outcome is clearer.
