Matteo Mazzone leaves Eintracht: Switch to Holstein Kiel II

Eintracht Frankfurt says goodbye to Matteo Mazzone, a talented center forward who will now open his tents in Kiel. The change takes place shortly before the end of the transfer phase and shows that the 19-year-old will play at Holstein Kiel II in the Regionalliga Nord in the future. This step marks a significant moment in the player's young career, which only switched from VfL Wolfsburg to the Main in the summer of 2023.

Matteo Mazzone made aware of the U19 of Eintracht Frankfurt last season by contributing three goals and just as many assists in 23 games. Despite his impressive performance in the U19, he was not able to achieve the U21, but was able to score four goals in test games. These statistics illustrate his potential and expectations that the coaching staff made to him when he came to Frankfurt.

a farewell in the anticipation

The decision to lose Mazzone concerns the club, but is not solely due to its performance. Alexander Richter, the head of the young talent center, had expressed the signing of Mazzone that they hope for successful integration into the men's area. The striker's talent was unmistakable, his dynamic style of play was estimated in the club management. But now the club is forced to let him pull it to possibly make room for other talents.

The Wolfsburg -born has an interesting career behind it. Previously, he played at Usi Lupo Martini Wolfsburg before moving to the youth department of VfL Wolfsburg. There he shaped his career significantly and impressed especially during the 2021/22 season when he outstanded in the U17 in the B-Junior Bundesliga with 12 goals in just 10 games. As a result, he was promoted to the U19 and was therefore able to establish himself early in the upper ranks of German football.

an international way

Mazzones international career is also exciting. In March 2023 he ran for the Italian U18 national team before making the decision to play for Australia. In the U20 selection of the "Socceroos", he was able to score two goals in three missions, which could further legitimize his talent and increase its market values.

The change back to the north German homeland after only one year in Frankfurt is important for both Mazzone and Holstein Kiel. Hopefully the club from Kiel will benefit from its offensive strength. In view of his previous services in youth, the striker could possibly make the leap into higher leagues, if he proves himself in the regional league. The football world is eagerly awaiting how his career will develop, now that he will look for new challenges at Holstein Kiel.
