Hannover's Second Chance in Promotion Camp
Preparing for a potential victory repeat, Hannover 96 is heading to Spain for their winter training camp. Coach Stefan Leitl (46) leads the team, with departure scheduled from January 2 to 10. The team will be training in Jerez de la Frontera, known for providing excellent conditions.
Sporting Director Marcus Mann (39) spoke positively about the trip, stating that there will be suitable training opponents in the area.
Test Matches Ahead
As of now, Hannover 96 has not confirmed any test match opponents, but there are plans to organize at least two during the week-long trip. The team will be staying at the high-end "Barceló Montecastillo Golf" hotel in Jerez, conveniently close to a Formula 1 racetrack. The facilities will include two training pitches.
A Familiar Setting
The hotel, regularly frequented by professional clubs during their winter preparations, holds a special place in Hannover's history. In 2009, Felix Magath (70) led VfL Wolfsburg to a championship title after an intense training session in Jerez.
Hannover's Road to Promotion
In 2017, then-coach Daniel Stendel (49, now with Hannover II) led Hannover 96 to promotion to the Bundesliga after an impressive training camp in Jerez de la Frontera. Despite Stendel's dismissal in March, his successor, André Breitenreiter (50), managed to secure the promotion with nine victories in the final games of the season.
Awaiting December Headlines
Fans eagerly await Hannover 96's training camp updates, hoping for a significant boost in performance and a potential chance at the Bundesliga promotion.
