FC Carl Zeiss Jena grabs scorer Eshele: a new hope!

FC Carl Zeiss Jena is fully upholstery and relies on fresh forces to attack the regional league northeast again next season. With the obligations of Moritz Fritz von Viktoria Cologne and Kevin Lankford from the BFC Dynamo, the foundation is laid for a new squad structure. Coach Volkan Uluc has considered a very special desired player: Manassé Eshele from Halleschen FC. This not only has the necessary physical attributes with a size of 1.90 meters, but also an impressive record of 127 regional league games in which he scored 31 goals and 12 templates.

The special thing about Eshele is that he recently switched from VSG Altglienicke to Halleschen FC, where he played an important role this season. After the missed ascent to the 3rd division, the chances are good that his current contract will not be extended, which offers Jena the opportunity to hit directly. Volkan Uluc not only sees Eshele a classic target player, but also a player who can give the right impulses in crucial games. Sports director Miroslav Jovic emphasizes that Eshele is very familiar with the Regionalliga Northeast.

a hand shake for the future

Freudy news for all FCC fans: Manassé Eshele has already signed a contract with Carl Zeiss Jena, which is valid until summer 2026. He not only brings his danger of goal, but also his experience from 150 regional league games. Last season he was able to call up his best performances in Greifswald, where he scored 16 goals in 37 games. Uluc and Jovic agree that Eshele will be a valuable addition to the team with its physical presence.

eshele itself is enthusiastic about his change and describes Jena as a great club with a lively environment and passionate fans. A clear announcement that he is willing to take responsibility and achieve success with the team.

the look ahead

But not only the newcomers make headlines. The squad planning of FC Carl Zeiss Jena is in full swing. The future of the previous attackers Ted Tattermusch and Elias Löder remains uncertain, since both hesitate with their contract extensions. Cemal Sezer works on a comeback while Erik Weinhauer leaves the club towards FC Erzgebirge Aue. A bitter loss, because Weinhauer was a fixture in the team.

Another important chapter in the club's history is opened with the departure of keeper Alexios Dedidis. After 17 years he leaves the East Thuringian and switches to Hertha Zehlendorf. These changes are part of a strategy that aims to reorganize the team and attack them again.
