Giuseppe Catizone becomes an assistant coach at VfR Aalen-promotion in view!

Aalen, Deutschland - VfR Aalen has reason to be happy, because Giuseppe Catizone becomes the new assistant coach of the football league team. In this role, he will work alongside head coach Beniamino Molinari and support the team in the coming season. Marc Elser, sports director of VfR Aalen, emphasizes that the decision for Catizone quickly made. "He was our desired solution," said Elser. The club is on a fresh wind to achieve a better placement in the next season than fourth place in the past league season.

The football creeping career from Catizone is impressive. From 2007 to 2017 he played 163 competitive games for 1. FC Normannia Gmünd and also made a name for himself as a coach. In recent years he worked at FSV Waiblingen, where his team became champion last season and rose from the district league to the Landesliga. Catizone started his career at SV Fellbach and then switched to the youth of VfB Stuttgart, where he made it into the Bundesliga squad in 1999. Stations at the 1. FC Saarbrücken, Stuttgart Kickers and SG Sonnenhof Großaspach also shaped his active career.

spirit of optimism at VfR Aalen

VfR Aalen is planning a lot for the coming season. In addition to the commitment of Catizone, up to five new players are to be brought into the team, including a central midfielder, a striker and an offensive player for the right side. No departures have so far been planned, and a final discussion about an extension of the contract is still pending. The start of training is scheduled for Saturday at 10.30 a.m. in the Rohrwang, and on June 28th there is an exciting friendly against the second division relegation SSV Ulm in the Centus Arena.

In the world of football, a change of coaches often play a crucial role. Science shows that in many cases such changes can lead to a short -term increase in performance for the team. Sebastian Zart, sports scientist at the TU Kaiserslautern, found in a comprehensive analysis that coaching change can have a positive influence in both the Bundesliga and other leagues. The new impulses and the possible improvement in the mood within the team could also pay off at VfR Aalen if Catizone can successfully implement its philosophy.

The anticipation for the new season and the performance of the team grows - both among those responsible and the fans. The coming months promise to be exciting, and we are excited to see how the combination of Molinari and Catizone will affect what is happening on the pitch.
