Tattermusch leaves Jena: Energie Cottbus secures Goalgetter!

FC Carl Zeiss Jena has suffered a major setback in its squad planning. Striker Ted Tattermusch has decided to move to Energie Cottbus, which was announced on June 12, 2025. With this move, Tattermusch is the fourth offensive player from Jena to leave the club this summer, and this gives room for speculation about the team's future direction.

Tattermusch, who caused a sensation last season with 12 goals and 4 assists from 29 games, brings a lot of experience with him. The 24-year-old measures an impressive 1.94 meters and is known for his header strength and robust playing style. Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz from Cottbus particularly emphasizes the need to show more presence in the air, which the newcomer can do excellently with his skills. In addition to Tattermusch, the Cottbus team has also signed Moritz Hannemann and Theo Ogbidi to strengthen their offensive for the coming season and to play at the top of the 3rd league, as thueringen24.de reports.

Plans in Jena

The departures from Jena put those responsible under pressure to put together a new squad. In addition to Tattermusch, Erik Weinhauer has also moved to Erzgebirge Aue, Elias Löder to SSV Ulm and Benjamin Zank to Viktoria Köln. This shows that Jena is increasingly striving for change and wants to recruit new talent. Kevin Lankford from BFC Dynamo and Manasse Eshele from Halleschen FC have already been signed as new offensive players in order to close the gaps caused by the departures, as sportschau.de makes clear.

Overall, with Tattermusch's current move, a transfer balance was created that offers some interesting figures. A total of 364 players were sold this season, with income of 7,838,000 euros. The departures show that the clubs are actively working on their squads to prepare for the new season - a fact that also applies to Jena. It remains to be seen how personal demands will change for the coming season.

A look at the transfer process

Transfers in the 3rd league are a hot topic among fans. The total expenditure amounts to 3,880,000 euros, which shows that the clubs are ready to invest in their squads. The average market value of the new additions is 3.40 million euros, while the departures have a total market value of 10.98 million euros. The current transfers seem to represent a major investment in the sporting fortunes of the clubs, which should significantly heat up the competition in the league. These details about the transfers can be read in detail on transfermarkt.de.

The coming months will show whether the changes at Carl Zeiss Jena bring the hoped-for success and whether Energie Cottbus will become a serious competitor in the 3rd league for the new season.
