The defender, who stands at 195 cm tall and plays with his left foot, has played in top leagues like Serie A with Udinese [2].
Ole Kittner, sporting director of SC Preußen Münster, expressed his excitement about Tikvic's arrival, stating that he brings emotion and inspiration to the pitch [5]. Tikvic is the eighth new signing for coach Alexander Ende's team.
SC Preußen Münster narrowly avoided relegation last season, and their new signing aims to help the team secure a stronger position in the 2. Bundesliga. The team's first game of the new campaign will be against Karlsruher SC this Saturday, which will be broadcast at 13:00 CET on Sky [7].
