Let's get straight to it! Marvin Wanitzek, Karlsruher SC's vice-captain, yearns to round off his career under the guidance of none other than Christian Eichner. In a heartfelt interview with "Kicker", Wanitzek gushed, "He's the bloke I'd want managing me till the end. We're on the same wavelength, got mutual respect."
Ever since Eichner penned down a new deal with KSC in November, whispers of bigger clubs like TSG Hoffenheim and 1. FC Köln having an interest in him have been floating about. "If the chance comes along for him and the lads to move to a higher league, I'd cheer them on all the way," said the midfielder with a grin. "If they deserved it, they'd be heading up there, no question."
Karlsruhe's top marksman was more than happy to stick around, contract intentions from Bundesliga clubs be damned. But, he elaborated, "When you're in an atmosphere where you feel valued and can grow – that matters. Continuity and trust – it's not common these days. That made more difference to me than any short-term move."
However, Wanitzek's dreams of promotion haven't faded away. "Everyone knows, a promotion with KSC would be the best thing ever. I remember cheering them on as a fan when they went up last time. I'm gonna give it my all to make it happen before I hang up my boots," he declared.
