Wintzheimer returns to his roots: new signing for Schweinfurt!
Manuel Wintzheimer has finally left 1. FC Nürnberg and is moving to third division newcomer 1. FC Schweinfurt. The 26-year-old is returning to his youth club, where he took his first steps in football. After completing several loan spells over the last three years, including Eintracht Braunschweig and Rot-Weiss Essen, this step appears to be a real new beginning for the attacker. At 1. FC Nürnberg, Wintzheimer only played 13 competitive games, which probably also influenced his decision to return to Schweinfurt. "We are really looking forward to Manuel. He will strengthen our team," said managing director Markus Wolf from Schweinfurt, saying positively about the new player.
In 2022, Wintzheimer moved from Hamburger SV to Nuremberg, but his time there was rather modest. The lending stations he experienced were partly educational and offered valuable experiences. The striker has already gained experience in the second and third league from a total of 112 appearances in the second division and 46 in the third division. He will now bring this experience to Schweinfurt, where he is the tenth new signing in this transfer period. Those responsible have a lot of trust in his potential and versatility.
