Baumgart's return and challenges

Baumgart, who already played for Union between 2002 and 2004, is looking forward to the new challenge and will head his first training session on Thursday.

The Union fans should be enthusiastic about the return of their former captain, who was also active at Hamburger SV after successful stations in Paderborn and Cologne, but lost his place there after only 278 days.

His first test game encounter with Union is on the program against Holstein Kiel on Sunday.
