FC Energie Cottbus separates from Hasse and Kusić: A hard farewell!

Cottbus, Deutschland - FC Energie Cottbus looks at a significant personnel upheaval and continues its realignment for the coming third division season 2025/2026. Today it was announced that the long -time player Tobias Hasse and Filip Kusić will not receive a new contract. Head coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz confirmed these decisions in an open video update, which reflected the emotions that are connected to these farewells. The person responsible was particularly difficult to say goodbye to Hasse, which was part of the team for six years. According to Niederlausitz Aktuell led before the decision finally fell.

The sporting considerations played a central role in the separation of hate. The trainer emphasized that a new game system is required, which needs other types of full -back. Cottbus has a variety of central midfielder, but there is a lack of linear full -back. In addition, economic factors must be considered because the squad must not be oversized.

The situation around Filip Kusić

also for Filip Kusić the time at FC Energie. Despite his commitment after an injury, the coaching team decided that there is no future for him in the current squad. Wollitz clearly looks for a different type of player to meet the requirements of the new system. These decisions are based on intensive sporting analyzes, which also reflect the miserable achievements in the last games: in the last 14 league games, the club only collected 14 points - this corresponds to a cut of only one point per game. So the trainer team does not see a long-term perspective for the players concerned, such as FC Energy reports.

But Hasse and Kusić are just two out of a total of eight players who will leave the club. Jan Shcherbakovski, Paul Milde, Maximilian Oesterhelweg, Karl Pischon, who moves to VFC Plauen to the Oberliga, and Maximilian Krauss to the Baltic Sea found her from Energie Cottbus. In addition, the contracts of Yannik Möker, Joshua plaster and Maximilian Pronichev are running out and are not extended. The future of players like Niko Bretschneider and Edgar Kaizer remains uncertain.
