Heidenheim earned their first-ever qualification for a UEFA competition despite enduring their first losing season since 2018, displaying resilience under the leadership of long-serving manager Frank Schmidt.
Manager Frank Schmidt, having guided Heidenheim through two promotions to the top division and consistently overachieved, is the longest-serving active manager among German professional clubs, showcasing his capability to lead the team to success.
The lack of squad depth and the departure of top scorers could lead Heidenheim to face challenges in the upcoming season, hinting at a potential struggle in the current campaign but a hopeful rebound in the following season.
