1860 Munich and the Looming Exit of Anderson Lucoqui
Anderson Lucoqui, 27, is currently in a battle to return to the field after a knee operation. Unfortunately, the likelihood of him donning the 1860 Munich jersey again seems to be dwindling.
Julian Guttau and Lucoqui remain the two primary unresolved personnel issues at 1860 Munich. Contract talks with both players are ongoing, though sports director Christian Werner is optimistic about extending Guttau's contract. In contrast, the signs point to Lucoqui's departure: "The overall situation with him is different due to his health status (forced break after knee surgery). We haven't been able to agree so far. I'm skeptical that we'll reach an agreement," said Werner in a club-published video.
Lucoqui's Tenacity for the Lions
Lucoqui arrived at 1860 Munich from second-division Braunschweig in the winter, quickly seizing a starting spot as the left-back. Despite suffering a knee injury with the U21s, he persevered and played through the second half of the season. Werner commended the defender's commitment: "We appreciate how Andy dedicated himself to the team. I'm proud to have had a player like him."
Thinning Left Side Defensive Depth
If whirlwind Lucoqui departs 1860 Munich after just half a year—and the winds seem to be blowing that way—the squad’s left side defensive depth will grow even thinner. After the departures of Lukas Reich, Leroy Kwadwo, and Florian Bähr, coach Patrick Glöckner will be left with new signing Kilian Jakob as the only left-back in the squad. Werner will have to address this situation soon.
