Managerial career

[edit | edit source]

Following his retirement, Schuster transitioned into a liaison coach at SC Freiburg while concurrently serving as an assistant coach.[6] In October 2022, alongside Patrick Baier, he stepped in for head coach Christian Streich, who tested positive for COVID-19, during the Europa League match against Nantes.[7] In January 2023, he completed a course at the DFB to attain the Pro license, the pinnacle coaching accreditation in German football.[8]

In March 2024, it was announced that Schuster would assume the position of head coach for SC Freiburg for the 2024–25 season, succeeding Streich.[9] In his debut season, Schuster led the club to a fifth-place finish and Europa League qualification, narrowly missing out on the Champions League after a 3–1 home defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt on the final matchday.[10]
