"Bild": Former Hertha coach Schwarz reaches agreement with US club
Sandro Schwarz is apparently about to take on a new role as a soccer coach. According to a report in "Bild", the former Hertha BSC coach is set to take over the US club New York Red Bulls this winter. Both parties are in agreement, according to the report. The 45-year-old Schwarz, who has also worked for Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga, was released by the Berliners in April of this year.
Just a few days ago, it was announced that RB Leipzig's sister club had already secured the services of long-time Leipzig midfielder Emil Forsberg (32). According to "Bild", Forsberg is also set to move to New York this winter.
The Red Bulls, managed by former Schalke manager Jochen Schneider, finished the Major League Soccer season at the end of October in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. At the beginning of this month, they were knocked out in the first play-off round against Cincinnati.
On Tuesday, Schneider announced the departure of former New York coach Troy Lesesne and his assistant Zach Prince and also said that the selection process for the next head coach was "actively underway".
Sandro Schwarz's move to New York Red Bulls as their new soccer coach is expected to be finalized this winter, following his release from Hertha BSC earlier this year. The report in "Bild" also mentions that Emil Forsberg, a long-time Leipzig midfielder, is set to join the Red Bulls during the same transfer window.
