Łukasz Piszczek named one of Nuri Şahin's new assistant coaches at Borussia Dortmund
Łukasz Piszczek has returned to Borussia Dortmund, the two-time Bundesliga winner having been appointed as one of three assistants to former teammate and the club's new head coach Nuri Şahin.
Piszczek spent 11 years at Dortmund as a player, making 382 appearances in all competitions between 2010 and 2021, and enjoying a key role in the team that Jürgen Klopp led to back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012.
Since retiring from playing professional football in summer 2021, the now 39-year-old had been working in a player-coach role with hometown club LKS Goczalkowice of the Polish lower leagues.
Joao Tralhao and Ertugrul Arslan have also been named as assistant coaches. Sebastian Geppert and former BVB midfielder Sven Bender, who both worked with Sahin as co-assistants under Edin Terzić during the second half of 2023/24, will leave the club on 30 June.
