Former Norwich City midfielder Marco Stiepermann will become the head coach of German fifth tier side ASC Dortmund this summer.
Stiepermann will arrive at the Oberliga Westfalen club with brother Marcel as his assistant, after finishing the season as a player for fourth tier side SV Wuppertaler.
He'll also feature for ASC as a player-coach, having made 13 goal contributions in 23 games so far for his current side, when current coaching duo Dennis Hubner and Mauritz Milsner move on.
ASC sporting director Samir Habibovic said: "We have been in contact with Marco Stiepermann for a very long time and have become more and more specific. We would like to take the next development step together with him.
"We are very happy that in Marco and Marcel we were able to win two full-blooded footballers for ASC 09, whose personal and content-related ideas match those of our club."
The 32-year-old spent four years at Carrow Road between 2017 and 2021, helping the Canaries to two promotions before departing my mutual consent. He made 119 appearances for City, scoring 12 goals and registering 14 assists.
