Markus Feulner: New U23 trainer at FC Augsburg-a promising step!

Augsburg, Deutschland - FC Augsburg has committed a new coach for the U23 team with Markus Feulner. Feulner, who supervised the association's U19 in the past season, assumes responsibility in the regional league Bavaria from the 2025/26 season. He succeeds Tobias Strobl, who has switched to SC Verl. This is another step in the consistent promotion of internal talents, a motto that the CEO Michael Ströll has emphasized.

With his 43 years, Feulner not only brings presence, but also experience. He already played 204 Bundesliga games and used to be a professional at FC Augsburg. He has been a trainer in the club since 2017, in recent years he has proven himself in various assistant trainers and as head coach of the U16 before taking over the U17 and finally the U19 in 2022. Under his leadership, the U19 ended its group E in League B of the DFB youth league with flying colors and will even compete in the Junior DFB Cup in the coming season.

perspectives for the U23

The U23 of FC Augsburg will be on the pitch for the first time on June 24, 2025 under Feulner's management. The trainer is grateful for the trust that the club brings to him and is full of anticipation for the upcoming challenge. "I would like to integrate the talents that come from the U19 into the U23 and give them the opportunity to develop further," explains Feulner.

In recent years, the U19 players have produced players who have already had experience in the U23. This creates a natural transition between the youth and men's teams, which not only promotes talents, but also the sporting success of the association входит.

talent promotion in German football

The promotion of young talents is very important in Germany, as the DFB talent promotion program shows. This program works closely with 339 bases across Germany to specifically train talented players. Each football talent should get the chance to be discovered and promoted, with about 14,000 players in the best learning age receiving viewing training annually. It is not just about the development of technical skills, but also about comprehensive personal support. In particular, the juniors benefit up to the U15 and the juniors up to the U16 from the weekly extra training offer at DFB bases.

By the strategic link of club youth work with performance -oriented structures, the pool of playful, technically experienced and creative players is continuously expanded. Such programs are essential to ensure the future of German football sustainably, while associations like FC Augsburg continue their philosophy of internal talent promotion.

For fans and experts, it remains to be seen which fresh impulses Markus Feulner will set with his U23 and how he can support the young talents on their way to the professional. One thing is certain: the coming months will be exciting.
