FC Energie Cottbus gets two new stars: Guwara and Butler are here!

Cottbus, Deutschland - FC Energie Cottbus has upgraded properly during the ongoing transfer period. In an exciting phase, the club signed two new players after they were able to present themselves well during the trial period. Leon Guwara and Justin Butler are the two newcomers to bring a breath of fresh air to the squad. According to fupa Guwara, which comes from FC Ingolstadt, will be used, especially on the defensive left outer lane. He already has experience from the third division season 2024/2025, where he was on the pitch in four league games and a national cup game and delivered three templates in seven test games. The coaching team could like its versatility, because it can also be used as a central defender and in the left midfield.

Justin Butler, who already drew attention to himself during the test games, not only brings a strong physical presence with his 188 centimeters, but also an impressive canto on the square: seven goals and a template in his seven test game missions speak for themselves. The player, who was previously active at SV Sandhausen, can be used flexibly on the left outer lane, but also as a right wing or in the storm center.

return and departures

In addition, there are some returnees and departures to report. Can Moustfa is back from his loan at Rot-Weiß Ahlen and impressed last season with 31 missions, 6 goals and 16 templates. Jannis Boziais also brings experience from his time at VfB Stuttgart and FCA Waldorf, where he was on the pitch in 31 games last season and scored 11 goals. The Boziais test game record is also remarkable: in just three games he scored six goals and prepared two more.

But the focus is not just on new obligations. A number of players are leaving the club, including Paul Milde, Maximilian Pronichev and Jan Shcherbakovski, whose new goals have not yet been known. The switch from Maximilian Krauss to Hansa Rostock, Karl Pischon to VFC Plauen and Niko Bretschneider to 1. FC Saarbrücken are also fixed, which will change the face of the team.

injury problem and team dynamics

Kicker emphasizes that despite the new additions, some players like Moritz Hannemann cannot currently stand in the squad due to an adductor breach. However, there is good news for Lukas Michelbrink, who will soon go back to training after his ankle injury. The team manages to be well staffed in these key positions, which is of great importance in the third division season 2025/2026, which is given with an overall market value of 119.13 million euros.

With regard to the upcoming season, FC Energie Cottbus seems to be well prepared in order to stand up on both the offensive and on the defensive. With an average age of 26 years and a squad that is already building on fresh talents, this could be a crucial year. The dynamics in the team will be shown in the course of the season and let us surprise how the newcomers fit into the team.
