Shortly after the end of the 2024 season, it was already clear: The new head coach of the Amberg Mad Bulldogs is also the old one: Dany Emmanuel will remain with the team in his current position.
Emmanuel has been the head coach of the Amberg football team for three years, and his greatest successes have been promotion to the Regionalliga and winning the Bavarian Bowl. Although things didn't go well for the Dawgs last season, giving up isn't an option for Emmanuel. He now wants to return the team to its former strength—and even make it better.
The decision not to make any changes at the Mad Bulldogs' coaching level wasn't a difficult one for the department's management – after all, Emmanuel is much more than just a head coach for the Dawgs. "He is the heart and soul of American football in Amberg. Dany takes care of so much more than 'just' training. His work behind the scenes is incredibly valuable, too – and that's why I'm happy to continue to have him with us," said Michael Sandner, Head of the American Football Department.
It's also clear, however, that the rest of the coaching staff will undergo significant changes. All positions are being carefully reviewed and will likely be filled almost entirely by new players. For example, Philipp Ponader, who previously worked as a coach and player, has moved to the management team, and the current OC is also no longer available to the same extent due to health reasons. However, it is already clear that Dominik McGuire will be on the sidelines and coaching a defensive position – he has been a particularly experienced player and a true pillar of the team.
Talks with new coaches are in full swing and will likely be concluded in the coming days.

It was clear shortly after the end of the 2024 season: the new head coach of the Amberg Mad Bulldogs is also the old one: Dany Emmanuel will remain with the team in his current position.
Emmanuel has been head coach of the Amberg footballers for three years, with his greatest successes being promotion to the regional league and winning the Bavarian Bowl. Although things did not go well for the Dawgs last season, giving up is not an option for Emmanuel. He now wants to lead the team back to its former strength - and make it even better.
The decision not to change the Mad Bulldogs' head coach was not a difficult one for the department management - after all, Emmanuel is far more than just the coach for the Dawgs. "He is the heart and soul of American football in Amberg. Dany takes care of so much more than 'just' the training. His work in the background is also so incredibly valuable - and that's why I'm glad to have him with us," says Michael Sandner, Head of American Football.
However, it is also clear that the rest of the coaching staff will change considerably. All positions will be closely scrutinized and will probably be filled almost completely with new players. For example, Philipp Ponader, who was previously active as a coach and player, has switched to department management, and the previous OC is no longer available to the usual extent for health reasons. However, it is already clear that Dominik McGuire will be on the sideline in future and will coach a defensive position - he has been a particularly experienced player and a real pillar of the team.
Talks with new coaches are in full swing and will probably be finalized in the coming days.
