What is the arrival time for Rachid Azzouzi?
Alemannia Aachen is gearing up for the 2025-2026 season in the third division, with a squad that includes players such as Tom Hendriks, Elias Bördner, Mika Hanraths, Lamar Yarbrough, Salomon Nkoa, Joel da Silva Kiala, Nils Winter, and Florian Heister. However, specific details regarding new signings and positions that require reinforcement are yet to be disclosed.
In an attempt to strengthen the team, Alemannia has been linked with several players. Their efforts to sign Marko Ilic from TSV Havelse and Tolcay Cigerci from Energie Cottbus have not yet yielded positive results due to financial constraints.
The club is reportedly in discussions with Rachid Azzouzi, the former sporting director of SpVgg Greuther Fürth, to take on the CEO position at Alemannia. Azzouzi's tenure at Greuther Fürth was marked by success before he had to leave unexpectedly last fall. Azzouzi has confirmed positive talks with Alemannia Aachen, but a final agreement has not yet been reached.
Meanwhile, Erdal Celik, currently the Technical Director, is expected to continue his role in transfers but under a new superior. Dirk Kall, former chairman of the board at Fortuna Düsseldorf, is rumoured to be joining Alemannia for a role in the finance department.
Alemannia Aachen's primary objective for the upcoming season is to stay away from the relegation zone. The club is expected to continue evaluating players during training sessions and friendlies, with Niklas Barthel and Sylian Mokono being tested in these sessions.
Ulm has announced plans to keep Niklas Castelle, who was on loan from SSV Ulm in the second half of last season, for the upcoming season. The club has also signed backup goalkeeper Tom Hendriks.
Robin Schouten and Joel da Silva Kiala have joined Alemannia Aachen to take the next step in their careers, while Matti Wagner, Valmir Sulejmani, Jeremias Lorch, and Fabio Torsiello have also been signed by the club. The roles and positions of these new players within the team are yet to be confirmed.
As the start of the second season in the third division approaches in two and a half weeks, fans and football enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting updates on Alemannia Aachen's transfer activities. Keeping a close eye on the club's official announcements and football news outlets focused on German third division teams will provide the latest updates on the team's strategic moves in the transfer market.
In an effort to elevate their squad, Alemannia Aachen is reportedly targeting European leagues by courting players like Marko Ilic and Tolcay Cigerci. Rachid Azzouzi, a former sporting director from SpVgg Greuther Fürth, is being considered for the CEO position at Alemannia, with promising talks ongoing.
