Greifswalder FC to Replace Björn Lipfert with Alain Karim

Greifswalder FC announced the termination of head coach Björn Lipfert's contract and indicated that Alain Karim is being considered as his replacement. The move comes as the club prepares for a new season. The club secured its place in the league last season, achieving the required class retention. The survival allowed the management to focus on restructuring. Björn Lipfert, who guided the team through the campaign, will leave the club following the season's end. His departure marks the end of the current coaching tenure. Alain Karim, a coach with experience in the Lausitz region, is the leading candidate to take over the role. The club views him as a possible catalyst for the planned overhaul. Greifswalder FC intends to revamp its entire personnel structure, from the sporting director down to the playing squad. The comprehensive reset aims to build a fresh foundation for future success. The final decision on the coaching appointment is expected in the coming weeks, as the club moves toward its complete restart.
