For the second consecutive summer, Athens Goalkeepers Academy is bringing a top European goalkeeper coach to Crete. Following last year’s visit by Italian coach Antonello Brambilla, this time it is Pascal Formann from VfL Wolfsburg who will attend the 4th Pancretan Goalkeeping & Coaches Camp, organized in collaboration with the GK Goalkeeper Academy, a member of the Panhellenic Goalkeeping Network!
The German GK Coach is no stranger to Greece, as he was one of the lead instructors at the 12th Goalkeeping Camp & Seminar of Athens Goalkeepers Academy in the summer of 2023 in Athens. This time, he will serve as the main instructor at the Pancretan Camp’s stop in Chania from June 20-22, 2025.
There, he will teach all the secrets of the position based on the most modern training methods used in the Bundesliga. Goalkeepers who stand out at the 4th Pancretan Goalkeeping & Coaches Camp will have the opportunity to participate in the 14th Goalkeeping Camp & Seminar, organized by Athens Goalkeepers Academy from June 26-29, 2025, in Athens, where goalkeeper evaluations will be conducted for international clubs.
Who is who
Despite being only 43 years old, Pascal Formann is one of the longest-serving and most respected goalkeeper coaches in the Bundesliga, having worked with VfL Wolfsburg’s first team since the summer of 2017.
Over these eight years, he has collaborated with head coaches such as Ralph Hasenhüttl, Oliver Glasner, Bruno Labbadia, Niko Kovac, Florian Kohfeldt, Martin Schmidt, Mark van Bommel, and Andries Jonker. He has also played a key role in developing Belgian international goalkeeper Koen Casteels.
His arrival in Crete once again reaffirms Athens Goalkeepers Academy’s commitment to bringing Europe’s top goalkeeper coaches to Greece every year, ensuring that goalkeepers across the country have equal opportunities for growth and development!
