FC Bayern and Professor Dr Holger Broich will end their long and successful work together on 1 July following good and amicable talks. The 49-year-old has worked for the club as head of the science, performance diagnostics and fitness department with the men’s first team but also covering the entire youth section since July 2014.
Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport: “For 10 years, Holger Broich was part of the team behind the team that completed the most successful decade in FC Bayern's history. He combines scientific knowledge with extensive professional experience at the highest level, from topics such as performance diagnostics to training management and youth development. Our decision is to be seen as an integral part of our fundamental reorganisation in the sporting area, and is expressly separate from the course of the past season. We would like to thank Holger Broich for an unprecedentedly successful time, to which he has made a major contribution, and wish him all the best for the future.”
Holger Broich: “It has been a great pleasure and honour for me to have been a part of these incredibly successful last 10 years. I would like to express my sincere thanks for the many years of support, encouragement and trust that FC Bayern has placed in me and wish the club continued success.”
After completing his degree in sports science with a focus on training and performance at the German Sport University in Cologne, Broich began his career at Bayer Leverkusen, where he worked as a senior sports scientist and performance diagnostician, conditioning and rehabilitation coach from 2003 to 2014. He moved to Munich for the 2014/15 season, where he was responsible for science, performance diagnostics and training for both professional and youth teams. During his time at the club, Bayern won nine Bundesliga titles, the Champions League, the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup as well as the DFB Cup three times and the German Supercup six times.
