The 2023 Rhein Fire season is the second season of the new Rhein Fire team in the European League of Football from Düsseldorf, Germany. The franchise is building upon a solid previous season, missing the play-offs slightly. For this season, the Fire will compete in the new Western Conference with its rivals Cologne Centurions and Frankfurt Galaxy.
Preseason
After the 2022 post-season, the franchise announced the departure of former general manager Patricia Klemm due to personal reasons and presented Tom Aust, former public relations manager of the old Rhein Fire.[1][2] Another big change in the coaching staff was the hire of the former Barcelona Dragons head coach Andrew Weidinger as the new offensive coordinator.[3]
