In addition to Alexander Sulzer, Sebastian Osterloh, Tyler Haskins and Siniša Martinović are part of the U25 coaching staff.
DEB-Sports director Christian Künast: "For us, the five-day U25 event in Slovakia is a valuable international comparison and an opportunity to scout talented players who could potentially play for our men's national team. This shows us how broadly positioned we are with regard to the squad for the 2023 World Cup."
Assistant coach Alexander Sulzer: "The focus will clearly be on the basics. In the very short preparation time together with some debutants in the team, we want to find our way as a team and internalize the game structure. In the two games against Slovakia, our team has the opportunity to present itself at an international level and thus recommend itself for further tasks such as the World Cup in May."
