Freiburg has hired former player Julian Schuster as its new coach. He will be the replacement when Christian Streich steps down at the end of the season after more than 12 years in charge. Schuster is a former midfielder who played 242 games for Freiburg before moving into a variety of youth and assistant coaching roles at the club under Streich.
Freiburg supporters cheer before the Europa League round of 16 second leg soccer match between West Ham United and SC Freiburg at the London stadium in London, Thursday, March 14, 2024. Freiburg coach Christian Streich gives instructions during the German Bundesliga soccer match between SC Freiburg and VfL Bochum at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion stadium, in Bochum, Germany, Sunday March 10, 2024.
“Being head coach of SC Freiburg means the world to me but it’s also going to be a challenge. I’m confident that I’ll be able to undertake this task successfully and have full faith in my ability,” Schuster said in a statement. “That being said, I’m going to stay humble and treat the position with respect.”
Streich has been in charge since December 2011 and will leave a rich legacy at Freiburg. Streich took the club to its first German Cup final in 2022 and to the Europa League last 16 twice, including this season. Like Schuster, Streich was originally promoted from within Freiburg’s coaching setup. He has worked with the club for 29 years since joining as an Under-19s coach in 1995.
