US EditionEurope's longest-serving club coach survives in the Bundesliga again in his 709th game
- Heidenheim secured Bundesliga survival by winning a promotion-relegation playoff against Elversberg with a last-minute goal on Monday.
- The playoff stemmed from Heidenheim's narrow escape after struggling with extra games following last season’s eighth-place finish and European qualification.
- In stoppage time, Brazilian winger Leo Scienza made a decisive run along the left side to score the winning goal, securing a 4-3 aggregate victory for Heidenheim.
- Approaching his 18th year leading Heidenheim and having managed 709 matches, Coach Frank Schmidt expressed that he has poured everything into the team, which was crucial, but now he feels completely drained.
- Schmidt’s long tenure brought Heidenheim from regional leagues to the top division, comparing favorably with other long-serving coaches but still below historical greats.
