The team began its preparation for the new season on Sunday, with Herbert taking charge of a squad of 12 players, including some from the second team. The Olympic participants, Niels Giffey, Oscar da Silva, Andreas Obst, Nick Weiler-Babb, and Johannes Voigtmann, have been given an extra week off, but Voigtmann did make a brief appearance at the training session.

“The team is looking forward to the new season, and we are excited to have Gordon Herbert on board,” said a team spokesperson.

Preseason Schedule

The team has a busy preseason schedule ahead, with test matches against Bamberg (August 24), Strasbourg (August 29), and Wurzburg (September 3) all scheduled to take place behind closed doors. Two test tournaments in Ljubljana (September 5-7) and Cyprus (September 14-15) are also planned.

Herbert’s Appointment

Herbert’s appointment as the new head coach of FC Bayern Basketball has been met with excitement from fans and players alike. The 65-year-old Canadian has a wealth of experience, having led the German national team to the World Championship title in 2023. However, his stint as the head coach of the German national team at the Olympic Games in Paris was not as successful, with the team finishing in fourth place.
