Tactical Identity
4-2-3-1High PressAlt: 3-4-3In poss: Shifted to 3-4-1-2 and 3-5-2 under Thioune — Boniface and a second striker pressing high while the three CBs support ball progression from the back.Out of poss: 5-4-1 defensive shape with the wing-backs sitting narrow/deep, transitioning to a higher press when fit for quick counter-press recovery.

Pressing-oriented, direct. Daniel Thioune (appointed February 2026) replacing Horst Steffen. Victor Boniface on loan from Leverkusen. Karim Coulibaly the young CB revelation.

Ole Werner left for Leipzig June 2025. Horst Steffen (from Elversberg) appointed but sacked — Daniel Thioune takes over February 2026. 14th place, scrapping for survival. Victor Boniface (Leverkusen loan) a major coup. Samuel Mbangula (Juventus loan) on the left. Karim Coulibaly (18, €22m) exceptional young CB. Mio Backhaus the breakout GK.
