Radical KSC squad restructuring: Who will be the new goalkeeper?
There is a lot of rumblings at KSC - the 2024/25 season will be a time of great change for the football club from Karlsruhe. Numerous players will leave the club and squad planning faces a Herculean task. How ka-news reported, are safely gone: Conté, Mustafe Abdullah, Luca Pfeiffer, Mikkel Kaufmann, Leon Jensen, Lasse Günther, Robin Bormuth and Benedikt Bauer. The departure of Ali Eren Ersengur also seems very likely, while Robin Heußer may also be looking for a new club.
For those responsible at KSC, squad planning is in full swing. The departures represent a real challenge, but one positive note remains: So far, no leading players have been found among the departures. However, the new minds need to be on the field all the more, as is already evident.
The goalkeeper coup and the squad revolution
The goalkeeper position is likely to be particularly exciting. Max Weiß and David Herold are very popular with first division clubs. Transfer market explains that White has interest from Burnley and Wolfsburg, which makes his stay at KSC quite questionable. Sports director Sebastian Freis had rejected a move from Weiß in order to promote his own young talent, but the pressure is increasing.
The KSC management is undecided whether they should rely on young or experienced goalkeepers. While candidates like 22-year-old Nahuel Noll from TSG Hoffenheim and Johannes Schenk from Preußen Münster are on the shortlist, an attempt to bring Marius Gersbeck from Hertha BSC back could also come into view. Patrick Drewes from VfL Bochum is also a hot prospect.
New management – new luck?
The KSC has changed management and set a new course for the future. Mario Eggimann has established himself as the new sports director and works closely with Matthias Wallenwein, head of the scouting department, and Matthias Cuntz, sporting director of the KSC grenke aKAdemie. KSC.de reports that Eggimann will coordinate the planning and strategically align it. This is intended to distribute tasks efficiently.
The connection to head coach Christian Eichner and his team remains close, and there are already initial ideas about what the team could look like in the coming season. An exciting time full of prospects, but also full of uncertainties, lies ahead of the KSC.
Given these conditions, it will be interesting to see how the squad changes and new strategic options will affect the team's performance. One thing is certain: the KSC is facing an exciting, perhaps even groundbreaking season.
