TTC Zugbrücke Grenzau extends contract with head coach Grujic

Slobodoan Grujic, head coach of TTC Zugbrücke Grenzau, has extended his contract with the Bundesliga table tennis club for a further two seasons during the first half of the current season. The Westerwald club has thus set the course for its sporting future.

"The early contract extension with our head coach Bobo Grujic is a first step in our future planning," says TTC chairman Olaf Gstettner. "The aim is to set the course for a successful season earlier than in previous years - and also to think beyond that. In Grenzau, we want to plan for the long term in future and consistently continue on our successful path. We are delighted that Bobo is joining us on this path."

"I've always said that we feel very, very comfortable as a family here in Grenzau," says Grujic. "We've got to know a lot of super nice people here, we've experienced a lot of appreciation and we're delighted that the club wants to continue on this path with me and us. If it's up to me and us, then we'd like to stay in Grenzau for even longer than these two years."

Optimistic goals for the future

Grujic moved to Brexbachtal for the 2021/22 season and led the team to 9th place in the table last season - including victories against champions Düsseldorf and Champions League winners Saarbrücken. "We want to continue to stabilise ourselves as a team in the TTBL," says the head coach. "Our goal is to keep looking ahead and maybe play a semi-final in the cup or championship within the next two years. Of course, these are optimistic goals, but I don't think they're impossible. We want to get better and better as a team and continue to develop from year to year."

"Signing him on means further continuity in our planning," says TTC manager Markus Ströher. "Bobo has shown how important he is for the team at the table. He is a proven expert in coaching and is a key part of our strength. We also get this appreciation and feedback from the players. I'm very happy that Bobo has signed with us for another two years ahead of schedule."
