Materazzo has previously spent time at Hoffenheim, first as a U17 coach and then as an assistant coach to the first team.
"As I've been living in the region since 2017, I've witnessed TSG's development first-hand even after my exit",
Matarazzo said after his appointment was confirmed on Wednesday.
"The situation is undoubtedly demanding. I'm convinced of the team's quality and will approach the task full of verve and with great confidence.
