Comeback at Union
Baumgart new coach for Trimmel and Querfeld
Steffen Baumgart is the new coach of 1. FC Union Berlin, returning to the "Eisern" with Christopher Trimmel and Leopold Querfeld after more than two decades.
The 52-year-old takes over the Bundesliga club from the German capital, which has been struggling recently. "We have opted for Steffen Baumgart because we are convinced that he is the right type of coach for us," Union managing director Horst Heldt was quoted as saying in a press release.
Baumgart had played professionally for Union in the 2nd division since the summer of 2002, most recently as captain. With his combative and heartfelt manner, he became a crowd favorite in just two seasons and was voted "Union Footballer of the Year" in both seasons. "It's certainly an advantage to know the club and many people here well," said the new coach.
Successor to Bo Svensson
Baumgart now succeeds Bo Svensson. The Dane was let go after less than six months. Since the premature departure of successful coach Urs Fischer in November 2023, there has been neither consistency nor calm in the coaching position. Union have also hired two Austrians, Christopher Trimmel and Leopold Querfeld.
