According to Bild, Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß said he is not ruling out a dual-coach model in the future.

Stuttgart begin their Champions League campaign today. In the opening round of the league phase, Stuttgart will host Norwegian champions Viking Stavanger.

Viking Stavanger have been coached jointly by two co-equal head coaches, Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen, since January 2021. Last season, the duo led the team to their first Norwegian league title in 34 years. Both were previously assistant coaches under Bjarne Berntsen before being promoted to head coaches.

Hoeneß said, "It seems to work well." When asked whether he would consider such a model, he said, "I'm not ruling out the possibility." However, Hoeneß also stated that he has not given it serious consideration: "No assistant coach has yet come to me to suggest we do the same thing."

Hoeneß spoke highly of Norwegian football. He said Norway's national team played "very attractive" football at this summer's World Cup, and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is not the only "world-class player" in the Nordic side.

Hoeneß also mentioned Arsenal's Martin Ødegaard. He said Norway is "a small country that produces many great players," and Viking hope to create a surprise like Bodø/Glimt.

The current Norwegian league leaders unexpectedly reached the Champions League round of 16 last season, only to be eliminated by Sporting CP at that stage. Viking now look to goals from Danish striker Peter Christiansen. The player's market value has now risen to 5 million euros.
