FC Ingolstadt: New impulses in the coaching team and painful departures!
The football world in Ingolstadt is facing exciting changes. There has been good news for the FC Ingolstadt women's team since June 16, 2025. Nick Breitenstein takes over as the new women's department head and brings a breath of fresh air into the team. The previous head coach Benjamin Stolte has extended his contract, which guarantees continuity in the sporting management.
The coaching team also remains unchanged: Thorsten Splieth, assistant coach Solveig Böhme and goalkeeper coach Michael Maurer continue their successful collaboration. In this constellation, Solveig Böhme is sure that one can hope for experienced newcomers. Discussions with potential reinforcements are ongoing, even if the names of the players are still secret. Ivana Slipcevic, on the other hand, will leave the club and move to SC Sand, a league competitor.
Departures and new arrivals
The FC Ingolstadt squad will change in the coming season anyway. Lisa Ebert has decided to move to the Austrian Bundesliga and is joining SKN St. Pölten. In addition, Nadja Burkhard will end her career while Kerstin Bogenschütz is still looking for a new club.
With the changes within the women's Bundesliga, football does not stand still. For example, 1. FC Köln has signed striker Nicole Billa from TSG Hoffenheim, while Eintracht Frankfurt has brought Elisa Senß and Nina Lührßen on board. Bayer Munich and VfL Wolfsburg have also strengthened their squads with strategic additions. Bayern Munich is entering the race with well-known newcomers such as Lena Oberdorf from Wolfsburg. This can certainly be seen as a sign of a fiercely competitive competition, because although the transfer window has not officially opened yet, there are already the first completed changes. 90min has interesting information about this.
Preparation for the new season
In order to optimally prepare for the new season, FC Ingolstadt has a few test games on the program. The team will face Blau-Weiß Linz away on July 19th, followed by a home game against RB Salzburg on July 26th at 1 p.m. The highlight of the preparation will be the training camp in Sonthofen, which will take place from July 30th to August 3rd, including a test match against St. Gallen. The last rehearsal before the start of the season is planned for the weekend of September 9th and 10th, although the opponent has not yet been determined.
So it will be an exciting time for the women's team. First of all, it is important to process the personnel changes and then prepare optimally for the challenges ahead. Let's stay tuned to see how FC Ingolstadt performs in the new season fcingolstadt.de.
