Philip Kipp joins the first-team coaching staff with immediate effect. The 41-year-old has previously worked as a set-piece coach in the 1. FC Köln academy as well as at Rot-Weiß Essen, and his focus at VfB will also be on the area of set-piece situations.
Sporting director Christian Gentner explained: “Philip Kipp can provide valuable input for us as an additional expert in the complex area of set-piece situations. Particularly with the number of matches we have in three competitions, he will be a useful asset to our coaching team.”
