FC Energie Cottbus starts the 2025/26 season with big changes!

Cottbus, Deutschland - FC Energie Cottbus recorded the training company for the upcoming 2025/26 season on Sunday, June 22, 2025. After a season that ended with a solid placement, but without career opportunities, the focus of the association is now aimed at the upcoming challenge in the third division. [rbb24] reports that the squad is currently being replaced. Tea player Lucas Copado, who played a key role with 33 missions and 13 scorer points (7 goals, 6 templates) last season, is probably not kept.

Those responsible hope for a fresh wind. Maniyel Nergiz, who has been responsible for squad planning and the mess since the beginning of the year, is already planning further transfers, especially in defense and for foreign striker positions. The current market value of Cottbus is around 6.53 million euros, which you can classify in midfield compared to other clubs such as Dynamo Dresden and Arminia Bielefeld [transfer market].

squad conversion and change of trainer

Another important point is the change in the coaching team. After the departure of coach Jonas Hildebrandt in the youth area, Julian Thies will take on the role in video and game analysis. Together with the new coaching team, Cottbus will try to get back to the coming year for the ascent.

Last season, the team was able to shine on the offensive and scored 64 goals, which represents the third best offensive of the league. Cottbus has thus shown that they want to play offensive football and want to establish themselves in professional football. But especially after the disappointing end of the season in fourth place, which is not entitled to the promotion relegation, the anticipation for the new season is great.

games and performance last season

One of the last encounters showed the strength of the team: Energie Cottbus triumphed in a duel against TSV 1860 Munich. [tz] emphasizes that this was the third game in an English week, previously there were two draws for 1860, which were defensive in this match. The player reviews after this game were particularly sobering - many players received grades between 4 and 6, which underlined the problems on the defensive.

The current change and the challenges of the new season are characterized by a realignment. Cottbus has big plans and will do everything possible to take the momentum from last season, even if the squad has to reorganize itself. Full of hope you look forward to the new year and want to show that the region can gain a firm foothold in the third division.
