Daniel Scherning (born 29 October 1983) is a German retired footballer who played as a forward, and is a manager.
In the winter of 2016, Scherning became an assistant coach at SC Paderborn 07 and experienced turbulent times there.
Initially relegated in terms of sport, the team only remained third-class in 2017 thanks to the license refusal for TSV 1860 Munich.
Two promotions in a row followed under head coach Steffen Baumgart, which brought Paderborn into the Bundesliga in 2019.
[1] After just over a year in charge of Osnabrück, Scherning returned to Arminia Bielefeld; but this time as the head coach of the first team, as he replaced the sacked Ulrich Forte- who departed with the side in the relegation places.
