After the disappointing performance of the German rowing team at the Olympic Games in Beijing, he was introduced as the new head coach of the German rowing association in September 2008 . The contract, concluded with a handshake, ran until the 2012 Olympic Games in London, which were very successful for the German Rowing Association with two gold and one silver medal.
