The Paris Lights have found their offensive coordinator for their first season in the American Football League Europe. German coach Timur Beckmann will lead the offense of the French franchise.

Championship experience from Rhein Fire

Beckmann spent the past seasons as part of the coaching staff of Rhein Fire, where he worked as tight ends coach. During his time with Fire, the team won the championship in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

His experience in a successful program is expected to help build a strong offensive structure in Paris.

Coaching background in Germany and the United States
