Enrico Maaßen signs Borussia Dortmund II contract extension!

Borussia Dortmund and their successful Regionalliga team coach, Enrico Maaßen, are stepping into the future together. This week, the 37-year-old coach put pen to paper to extend his contract with the club, originally scheduled to expire in 2022, until June 30, 2024.

Maaßen, a qualified sports therapist and trained sports and fitness salesman, joined BVB’s second team in the summer of 2020 after winning the Regionalliga West title with SV Rödinghausen. Under his leadership, BVB are currently placed second in the table (two points behind leaders Essen, who have played two games more) and look poised for promotion to the 3.Liga.

“At a young age, Enrico Maaßen is already a very good coach on both a professional and personal level. He has a complete sense of identification with our club. Enno is all about intense, passionate attacking football with lots of pressing. He shows great potential for the future. We are therefore very happy that he has decided to keep up his successful work at BVB and continue his development in our performance-oriented environment – hopefully in the third tier from next season onward. We are all the happier in light of the fact that many higher-ranked clubs have been seeking his services in recent months,” said the head of the licensed player division at Borussia Dortmund, Sebastian Kehl.

“I am proud and happy to be able to work at Borussia Dortmund in the long term. I was very warmly accepted into the BVB family a year ago and I very much feel at home here. I know how fortunate I am to enjoy the collaboration, support and appreciation that I get here and I am delighted that our work together has been so successful,” said Enrico Maaßen, going on to add: “We have big goals together that are driving us forward. I am also very excited, once the pandemic situation allows it, to be able to experience this great club alongside its special fans.”
