"We are very happy with the visit from Hannes Wolf," said Sven Hübscher, head of coaching at the Kurtekotten Performance Centre since the summer. "With this further training we want to give our youth coaches an additional and important boost for the recently started season."
Wolf, who worked alongside Peter Hermann as caretaker coach of the Werkself from March to June 2021, held a workshop in the press conference room at the BayArena. The youth coaches from the German double and Supercup winners listened carefully to the contribution from the 43-year-old with the subject of training in youth football the focus of the evening.
The main subject of discussion was the training philosophy in Germany and a look at youth development in other countries such as England and France. The session was rounded off with a joint discussion of how the input from Wolf can be used to develop players at Bayer 04.
