"I don't know any of this without him": Mainka's special words for Schmidt

Heidenheim captain Mainka pays tribute to manager Frank Schmidt, who is leaving the club after over 20 years at the end of the season.

Patrick Mainka has been at 1. FC Heidenheim since July 2018, and Frank Schmidt has been his manager throughout that entire period — a tenure now spanning over eight years. Schmidt is departing Heidenheim at the end of the season after more than two decades with the club, marking a significant turning point not just for captain Mainka but for the entire organization.
