Jens Härtel is to become the new coach at FC Erzgebirge Aue. The 55-year-old, who was with Eintracht Braunschweig until October 2023, will take up his post on January 2. "I'm looking forward to the new task, to a team with potential, the Kumpelverein with ambitions and a whole region with heart and soul," said Härtel.
He is keeping his fingers crossed for the team for the remaining games this year and will be following the games in Sandhausen and against TSV 1860 Munich very closely. Jörg Emmerich will be in charge of the team until Härtel's debut; the assistant took over after Aue parted ways with head coach Pavel Dotchev, but was unable to stop the negative trend. Aue recently conceded three defeats in a row.
