Marcus Sorg – Pro & Coaching Career

The playing career of Marcus Sorg, born on December 24, 1965 in Ulm, Germany, begins at TSG Söflingen. In 1977 he moves to SSV Ulm, with whom he makes it to the 2nd Bundesliga and records 34 games. After his move to the VfB Stuttgart amateurs in 1987, where he also started to study civil engineering, Sorg plays several years in the ‘Regionalliga’ with TSF Ditzingen (1993 to 1996, 1997 to 1999) and VfR Mannheim (1996 to 1997).

At the age of 33 Marcus Sorg starts his coaching career. First at Stuttgarter Kickers, later at TSF Ditzingen, Heidenheimer SB, and SSV Ulm. In the meantime, Sorg is doing his A-level trainer license at the German Football Association (DFB) and is an intern at Diego Maradona’s home club Argentinos Juniors in Buenos Aires.

In 2008 he joins SC Freiburg. Marcus takes over Freiburg’s U17 as head coach. Six months later he already moves up to the U23, which he leads as head coach to avoid relegation in the Regionalliga. This qualifies him for the next step: On July 1st 2011, the graduated civil engineer becomes head coach of the first team in the 1. Bundesliga.

In the summer of 2012, he moves to Bayern Munich’s U17. A season later he takes over the German U19 National Team as head coach.
