After six years in the regional league, Borussia Dortmund’s U23s were able to play in the 3rd division again last season and had a successful season under coach Enrico Maassen. After the departure of the 38-year-old, BVB announced the new coach on Friday.

Preußer new U23 coach: Borussia Dortmund has found a successor for the former U23 coach Enrico Maassen, who switched to FC Augsburg a few days ago. 38-year-old Christian Preusser signed a two-year contract with BVB on Friday.

Quick agreement: Preusser is very happy about this new challenge. In an official statement from the club, he says: “I’m really looking forward to this exciting task at Borussia Dortmund and I’m happy that we were able to come to an agreement so quickly.”

Freiburg II and Düsseldorf last stations: Most recently, the 38-year-old was the coach of the second division team Fortuna Düsseldorf, but he was fired there in February due to lack of success. Previously, in 2021, he led SC Freiburg’s U23s to the 3rd division.
