St. Pauli U23 starts the season with new energy and coach!
Let's go into a new season! The U23 Kiezkickers from FC St. Pauli started their preparation for the coming regional league season on Wednesday. The players are full of energy and ready to take on the challenge, even if there are some new faces. The new additions include Haron Sabah, Rawley St. John, Jannik Westphal and Sisco Ngambia Dzonga, all of whom are eager to fit into the team. Coach Benny Hoose is optimistic and emphasizes that it is important for both the team and the individual players to start the season well. St. Pauli24 reports on the motivated mood at the first training session.
With a breath of fresh air in the management team, the U23 is also structurally new. Benny Hoose, who previously coached the U19s, takes over responsibility for the regional league team. This happened prematurely because the club parted ways with Elard Ostermann in March, who wanted to leave the team in the summer anyway. Hoose is supported by Max Janta as assistant coach and Philipp von Friesen as game analyst. Carsten Rothenbach, the sporting director of the U23, is pleased about the early opportunity to work with the new coaching team and emphasizes the positive development of the U23 under Ostermann and his predecessor. Hoose expressed his anticipation of the new challenge and promised to accompany the team's talents on their way to men's football. Image has prepared the background to the coaching change very well.
A look at the goals for the season
What are the goals for the coming season? Benny Hoose and his team have decided to start the new regional league season successfully and to specifically promote the talent. It will not only be about team success, but also about the individual development of the players. The team will do everything it can to assert itself in the league and end the final part of the season in style.
While St. Pauli is concentrating on the challenge ahead, other clubs such as Hertha BSC are also taking a look into the future. The Berlin Academy is planning extensive personnel changes for the 2024/25 season, with new coaches for the youth teams. Rejhan Hasanović will take over the U23 team and Stephan Schmidt will remain at the club in an unclear role. Such changes are part of the football cycle that also applies to St. Pauli, because the path of young players is often windy and full of surprises. RBB24 provides information about developments in the capital's youth academy.
Overall, there is an exciting time ahead for FC St. Pauli's U23s, in which new players and a new coach will shape the team. The fans can be excited to see what energy and motivation the Kiezkickers will start the season with!
