He replaces caretaker manager Frank Kramer who will return to managing the club’s U-23 side. Kramer’s two matches in charge were a 0-2 loss to Hamburg and a 1-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund. “I said from the start that I was unconditionally at the disposal of the club. I did that for the first team and I will continue to do the same for the U23 side. I will of course help the new manager with his tasks in any way that I can.”
Kurz’s last management position was with Kaiserslautern where he led them to promotion from the 2.Bundesliga at the end of the 2009-2010 season when they were crowned champions. The following season back in the Bundesliga, FCK defied the odds with a 7th place finish. He was sacked late the following season as they club stared relegation in the face.
