“In André, we signed a coach who enjoyed a high degree of acceptance from day one, not only from the team but also from the entire staff, our employees at the office and all our fans and partners. We thank him for the amiable collaboration and the many positive moments, especially at the beginning of our time together,” said TSG director of football Alexander Rosen.

“Michael’s move to Munich signals nothing less than the end of an era,” said TSG director of football Alexander Rosen, addressing the departure of a long-term companion. “Michael has been a constant at our club for one and a half decades. He has shaped generations of goalkeepers through his work with the U19s, U23s and the first team. His technical expertise, his creativity and his dedication made him one of the most renowned experts in his field. He’s an improver,” said Rosen in praise of the outgoing Rechner.

“Rino not only knows our club but also the vast majority of the first-team squad from his own experience. By the same token, we also know him and are therefore convinced that he is the right man for the head coach job,” said TSG director of football Alexander Rosen, who continued: “He not only led VfB Stuttgart to promotion but also proved his qualities by keeping them in the Bundesliga. He can cope with pressure and knows what is required in this situation. His philosophy of play, his vision of football and his way of dealing with people make him a 100% fit for TSG and its approach – well beyond the current situation.”
