Helping hands among friends: HSV coach visits Hannover 96 for inspiration! | OneFootball

As co-coach of Merlin Polzin, Richard Krohn has a significant share in HSV's promotion. Currently, he is taking the next step in his development.

Sometimes it's the small gestures that can make a big difference in football. As is currently the case between Hamburger SV and Hannover 96: HSV co-coach Richard Krohn is doing an internship at the Lower Saxony second division club to gain valuable experience for his further career.

The 30-year-old, assistant to Merlin Polzin at HSV, found himself not as usual in Volkspark, but at the training ground of Hannover 96 this week. What was initially surprising to outsiders is quickly explained: Krohn is currently completing his A-license and needs practical insights at another professional club for the completion in November.

The fact that he specifically went to Hannover is no coincidence. With 96-coach Christian Titz, Krohn shares a common past. Both met already in the 3rd league, when Krohn was co-coach of Viktoria Berlin and Titz was in charge of 1. FC Magdeburg. HSV and Hannover also share an intense fan friendship, and the two clubs are well-disposed towards each other.

HSV coach took a prominent role in training

As Bild reports, Krohn regularly exchanged ideas with Titz and his coaching team, noted processes, exercises and gave impulses. Even after the unit, the Hamburger sat down with the Hanoverians to take further impressions.

For Krohn, who is responsible for the opponent analyses at HSV in addition to the daily training operations, this experience is an important building block on the way to the UEFA Pro License. The highest coaching qualification in European football is necessary to coach in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga or also in international competitions.
