Stein leaves Aschaffenburg: move to Lok Leipzig causes excitement!
The football world in Aschaffenburg is turned upside down because Jan-Philipp Stein, a long-time Viktoria player, has decided to break up his camp and move to 1. FC Lok Leipzig. This decision caused excitement among the club's supporters and those responsible. Loud kicker Stein has signed his contract in Leipzig until 2026 and will wear the number 4 there.
The central defender has made a name for himself at Viktoria Aschaffenburg since 2015. He emerged from his own youth team and played a total of 125 competitive games in which he scored five goals. However, the last few years have not been easy for Viktoria, as they are candidates for relegation in the Bavarian Regionalliga, while Lok Leipzig holds the title in the Regionalliga Nordost. Sports director Toni Wachsmuth praises Stein's abilities and emphasizes that he can also be used as a right-back or in defensive midfield.
An unexpected farewell
The change comes as a surprise to those responsible at Viktoria. Sandro Sirigu, the new sporting director, expressed his regret about the departure, especially since Stein had originally promised to be ready to play for Viktoria while he was studying in the USA. However, the player was missing from the start of training, which only fueled the discussion about his move. Loud Main Echo Aschaffenburg had hoped that Stein could balance his academic commitments with football.
In any case, Stein is looking forward to playing in front of the fans in Leipzig and fighting for points. He will also meet his former coach from Viktoria, Jochen Seitz, which will certainly provide additional excitement.
