Title: MSV Duisburg: Eyeing a Return to the 2. Bundesliga
MSV leader Michael Preetz expresses profound gratitude: "Deeply moved we are"
Chillax, Duisburg's PEZ (that's managing director in soccer-speak) keeps a low-key attitude, yet the 2. Bundesliga remains on their radar as a medium-term goal.
Now, let's spill the beans about the Pez's vision for MSV Duisburg in the German football landscape. Fact is, MSV tanked their way down to the 3. Liga, the third league, after scoring a promo from the Regionalliga West in 2024-25[1]. The plan on the table? To get back to the 2. Bundesliga, baby! That's where they've got to be to keep things poppin' and grabbing those Ws.
Though the Pez hasn't dropped a mission statement about the promo to the second division specifically, their recent squad-strengthening moves hint at those goals[2]. Since the current season's in the 3. Liga, it's obvious they're trying to kick some butt on this league to move up.
Pro tip? If MSV Duisburg manages this move, they're gonna wanna dig in and settle, leaving the 3. Liga dust in their rearview. No signs of egomaniacs aiming for a World Cup win here, just a classy sports team keeping their eyes on the prize (the 2. Bundesliga).
MSV Duisburg aims to return to the 2. Bundesliga, a league where they believe they can thrive and continue to win games. The team's recent squad-strengthening moves suggest a focus on European leagues, specifically the 2. Bundesliga.
