Swinging Doors: Aue's Juggernaut Preps for New Season with Potential Shake-ups
Aue's triumphant stint in the league has allowed them to map out plans for the upcoming season. Whispers of fresh talent are already swirling .
Dancing the dance of survival no more, Erzgebirge Aue secured a comfortable stay in the third tier thanks to a 1-0 victory against FC Ingolstadt on Sunday. With Dotchev's initial ambitions of promotion after an auspicious start fading, the team will undoubtedly look to use the offseason to shake things up.
Although the lukewarm performance in the second half of the season (20 points from 17 games) falls short of the first half's glory (29 points from 19 games), it's likely that coach Jens Härtel's tenure will continue, given his extended leeway to influence the squad composition and prepare for a longer preseason.
Testroet, a Familiar Face on the Market
As Khilian Jakob, Mirnes Pepic, and Niko Vukancic exit club bounds, doubt lingers over the fate of loan players Ali Loune and Tim Hoffmann. With Loune's impressive golden goal against Ingolstadt and questionable prospects in Nuremberg, a permanent commitment could be in the works.
FC Erzgebirge announced two newcomers, Julian Günther-Schmidt and Erik Weinhauer, both offensive reinforcments intended to alleviate Marcel Bär's injury woes.
The forward corps may yet witness more arrivals. Pascal Testroet, who adorned the Ingolstadt jersey in Aue on Sunday, has been the subject of much recent chatter. A veteran striker with 37 goals and 19 assists during his tenure at FC Ingolstadt (2018-2021), Testroet still commands respect in the Loßnitztal, and an expresses openness towards a return: "Yep, there's still a connection there, and it might be something we revisit," the 34-year-old striker said. "I think fans who saw me yesterday could tell I'm still in top shape and could play a crucial role for my team."
Potential Defensive Midfield Reinforcements
Testroet isn't the only player on Aue's radar, with managing director Matthias Heidrich reportedly in negotiations. Eric Uhlmann, a free agent after Hannover 96 II's relegation, could join the defensive midfield to replace Pepic. despite the lack of recent evidence linking him to Erzgebirge Aue, Uhlmann's versatility and potential make him an attractive option.
Furthermore, Dominic Baumann, a prolific striker for SV Sandhausen with a market value that's piqued interest in Aue, has also been mentioned in rumors. In addition, the wing player Jong-min Seo from Chemnitzer FC is said to be on Aue's shortlist of potential signings.
