With the German Handball League's challenges looming, the Rhine-Neckar Lions remain steadfast in their intent to keep coach Sebastian Hinze on board for the long haul. Jennifer Kettemann, the team's Managing Director, expresses her hope for Hinze's continued service beyond 2026, highlighting her confidence in his work.
Despite the Lions' disappointing placement in eighth place with 18:20 points, they're not revising their season goals. The ambition to compete on an international stage persists, even if the journey isn't going to be easy. Kettemann acknowledges that the current results have been disheartening but remains optimistic.
Meanwhile, the Lions' goalkeeping department undergoes a shift. With Mikael Appelgren, Joel Birlehm, and David Späth, the team boasts three top-notch talents between the posts. Rumors swirl about Birlehm's potential move to TSV Hannover-Burgdorf for the new season, which may necessitate changes in the goalkeeping trio.
The Rhine-Neckar Lions, based in Baden-Württemberg, continue to make waves in the German Handball League, despite the challenges they face in maintaining their international competitiveness.
