Coaching career over: Mirko Slomka wants to become a manager
Long-time Bundesliga coach Mirko Slomka has declared his coaching career over after spells at Hannover 96, Schalke 04 and Hamburger SV. "I now say quite clearly: my time as a coach is over," the 56-year-old revealed in an interview with "Kicker". "I would like to use the many tools I now have at my disposal at a club at management level."
Slomka returned to his home club Hannover 96 in 2019 after relegation from the Bundesliga, but had to leave after just twelve match days. Most recently, he completed a degree in sports management at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. His greatest successes as a soccer coach were finishing runner-up with FC Schalke 04 in 2007 and two Europa League appearances with Hannover 96.
After announcing his retirement from coaching, Mirko Slomka expresses his interest in utilizing his skills at a management level in a Bundesliga club. With his coaching career at Hannover 96 coming to an end after a short stint following relegation, Slomka could potentially consider opportunities with clubs such as Bundesliga 2 contenders Hanover 96 or rivals Schalke 04 or Hamburger SV.
