The 36-year-old former player and coach at the club has agreed a five-year-deal with president Wilfried Finke to 30 June 2022. “ SCP is very close to my heart. After leaving my job at Bayer 04 I now feel ready to become a sporting director. I will work with the coaching team and club management to do all we can to stay in the third division and help SCP get out of their current position,” said Krösche who made 354 appearances for Paderborn between 2001 and 2014.
