second division relegated Arminia Bielefeld has found a new coach for the reconstruction in the 3rd football league. Mitch Kniat changes from local and future league rivals SC ext The 37-year-old signed a contract up to and including the summer of 2025. Verl had previously agreed to the coach’s request to terminate the contract.
“I would like to thank SC Verl for the short-term agreement about the change,” said Bielefeld’s sporting director Michael Mutzel: “In our first conversation, Mitch was really enthusiastic about the task.” Kniat succeeds Uwe Koschinat, whose contract was not extended after the relegation, as expected.
Kniat brings “exactly the qualities and enthusiasm that are important for the profile of the new Arminia head coach,” said Mutzel and specified: “A clear game idea with lots of ball possession, high pressing and an offensive orientation, absolute enthusiasm for working with youngsters players and the introduction of talented youngsters as well as a deep knowledge of the 3rd division. I believe that his positive manner and his convincing speech will reach everyone in the team.”
Kniat led Verl back to the 3rd division in 2022 and held the class with the team. Bielefeld has two relegations in a row behind it, last season the DSC in the 2nd Bundesliga used up three coaches. (sid)
