Fortunaโฃ Dรผsseldorf is poised to re-appoint Markus Anfang as its new head coach, according to details obtained by BILD. The move comes as a swift response to the โขrecent dismissal of Daniel Thioune, though the official declaration of โคThioune’s departure will be delayed until after Anfang’s contract is finalized.
The decision to pursue Anfang, a former fortuna player with 84 appearances acrossโ Bundesliga and 3.โฃ Liga, was complicated by his existing contract with โ1.FC Kaiserslautern, which runs through 2026. Resolving that contractualโ situation proved necessary before progressing with the appointment. Thioune’s exit is considered by some toโ be an undignified end to his tenure, duringโฃ which he โคdelivered consistent performance for the club.
Anfang previously played for Fortuna Dรผsseldorf in two separate spells (1995-1997 and 2006-2008), participating in 37 bundesliga matches, 43 3.โ Liga games,and 4 DFB-Pokal contests.
