Sebastian heinlein takes over as player-coach at FC viktoria untererthal from the 2019/2020 season onwards. The 30-year-old currently plays for DJK schwebenried/schwemmelsbach in the regional league and acted as match leader in many games during the first half of the season. "The FCU is a well-run club with an intact club life and sporting potential. A lively association is very important to me personally", heinlein is quoted in a press release from his new club. The electronics engineer, who lives in fuchsstadt with his girlfriend, played for a long time for FC westheim, his hometown club, and then moved to fuchsstadt for four years before moving to the neighboring district. Now the holder of the B license wants to take the step into the coaching business. "In addition, the FCU offers me a super entry, with which I would like to write sports headlines", according to heinlein. However, the link to untererthal is not only through its rough network. Especially michael hufner from untererthal puts heinlein in the black. "That was my first coach in the men’s division in westheim, who gave me a lot to take with me on the road. So this is where the circle closes for me. I also played there with my son sebastian."
According to his own statement, the defensive specialist was lucky to have worked with many good coaches such as dominik schonhofer, mario schindler, dirk zuchner, marius kubo, martin halbig and hufner. Also because of this, heinlein attaches particular importance to qualities such as respect, honesty and discipline. The native of langendorf wants to help the team with his experience both on and off the pitch and send a team into the race with which the fans can identify. Before he starts his new task in june, heinlein addresses an appeal to the team. He expects that the focus will now be on the second half of the season in order to get the points needed to stay in the league.
