Bayern Munich II

[edit]

Hoeneß began his managerial career with the Hertha Zehlendorf under-19 team from 2011 to 2013. He later coached the youth teams of RB Leipzig from 2014 to 2017. Between 2017 and 2019, he coached the Bayern Munich under-19 team, before replacing Holger Seitz in 2019 as manager of the club's reserve team, who were promoted in the previous season to the 3. Liga.[6] In his first season, Hoeneß led the team to win their first 3. Liga title,[7] and was awarded the league's manager of the season award.[8]

Hoffenheim

[edit]

On 27 July 2020, Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim announced Hoeneß as their new manager for the 2020–21 season, signing a three-year contract until 30 June 2023.[9] After finishing in ninth place in the 2021–22 season, Hoffenheim and Hoeneß parted ways.[10]

Stuttgart

In April 2023, Hoeneß took over VfB Stuttgart.[11] Hoeneß led the club from the bottom of the table into the relegation play-offs of the 2022–23 Bundesliga, in which Stuttgart defeated Hamburg.[12] On 8 March 2024, Sebastian Hoeneß extended his contract with VfB Stuttgart until the summer of 2027.[13] In the 2023–24 season, he led the club to a UEFA Champions League berth for the first time since the 2009–10 season by finishing second, the club's best performance since 2007.[14] In March 2025, he extended his contract with the club until 2028.[15]

Despite losing the DFL Supercup to Bayer Leverkusen and finishing in ninth place in the Bundesliga, with a league phase exit in the Champions League, Hoeneß guided Stuttgart to the 2025 DFB-Pokal final, where they defeated third tier side Arminia Bielefeld 4–2 to give Stuttgart their fourth DFB Pokal title and first trophy since winning the 2006–07 Bundesliga title.[16]
