After retiring at the end of the 19/20 season, Lukasz Piszczek spent a season as Favre's assistant manager. Hannover 96 then snapped him up after Kenan Kocak left to manage in England. At the start of the 21/22 season, Piszczek inherited a solid Bundesliga squad, but made a few changes to suit his heavy-metal style of play inspired by his former coach Jurgen Klopp.
