Mr. Zorniger is the new head coach

Apollon FC is proud to announce the appointment of Mr. Alexander Zorniger as the new coach, an agreement has been reached until May 2023.

The 53-year-old German coach started to coach in 2002, when he was in charge of FC Normannia Gmünd for seven years. After that he joined Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart as an assistant coach under head coach Markus Babbel in 2009.

Following this first experience, he joined Sonnenhof Großspach for two years (2010-2012) with a record of 29 wins in 64 games (45% win rate).

In July 2012, he took over Leipzig’s coaching position, taking them from 4th to 2nd division in three years whilst winning the 2nd Saxony Cup in the club’s history in the 2012-2013 completely unbeaten season. In 96 games, he registered 58 wins with a 60.4% win rate.

In May 2015 he was hired by Stuttgart and signed a three-year deal. He only stayed there for 15 matches but made his Bundesliga debut.

His latest position was at Danish side Brøndby where he spent three seasons (2016-2019), winning a cup in the 2017-2018 season. Apart from that trophy, in his three seasons with Brøndby under his guidance, the club finished in 2nd position twice before getting sacked in Febryart 2019 on 4th position.

We welcome Mr. Zorniger to Apollon FC and wish him the very best with the club.
