The former Mainz player returns to his ex-club, where he worked as a youth coach before taking the reins at Austrian second division club FC Liefering a year and a half ago.
"Bo brings all the qualities we are looking for in a coach," said Mainz chief Christian Heidel.
"He started working as a coach from scratch in our youth department and played under the likes of Jürgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel as an active player.
"He knows how we are supposed to play. We are convinced that he has the personality and assertiveness to transfer this knowledge to the team."
