Rot-Weiß Erfurt: Departure with new additions and coaching goal for the regional league!

In Erfurt, preparation for the new regional league season is in full swing. FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt Fußball GmbH celebrated the start of its training camp on June 23rd. New to the team is assistant coach Nils Weiler, who will steer the club's fortunes together with coach Fabian Gerber. A total of three out of four newcomers are already in training and are doing everything they can to quickly fit into the team.

However, the situation is not completely relaxed because coach Gerber still sees a need for action in the squad. “We are not yet satisfied with the current composition due to the departures,” he said, expressing his concern to strengthen the team. Defensive players are particularly in demand; A left full-back and a central defender who can also play in defensive midfield are at the top of the wish list. Important departures that have weakened the Erfurt squad are Robin Fabinski, who is moving to VFL Osnabrück, and Jeremiaha Maluze, who is going to Eintracht Frankfurt's U21.

New life in the squad

The talents Boipelo Mashigo, Raphael Assibey-Mensah, Artur Golubytskyi and Sejdo Durakov bring a breath of fresh air to the team. While Mashigo, Golubytskyi and Durakov have already successfully completed their first training session, Assibey-Mensah is still undergoing rehabilitation. The goal remains clear: the rapid integration of the new additions into the team is at the top of the agenda.

In order to further strengthen team cohesion, a training camp is planned in Weißensee. “We want to play good and attractive football,” said coach Gerber, who ambitiously wants to challenge stronger teams. However, this requires a stable team that not only has sufficient quality but also a strong defense.

A look at the club's history

FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt can look back on a pioneering history that dates back to 1895. The club was officially founded in 1966 and has since established itself as an integral part of German football. The club has had some success with two titles as GDR champions and record winners of the TFV Cup. The last notable placement was third place in the GDR Oberliga in the 1990/1991 season, followed by qualification for the 2nd Bundesliga and participation in the UEFA Cup.

The club is not only known for its tradition, but has also produced some prominent national players from its youth, such as Thomas Linke and Clemens Fritz. Erfurt was the last club from the former GDR to be represented on the international stage.

For the upcoming challenges in the regional league, it is hoped that the new arrivals will be able to quickly find their feet and showcase their talents in order to lead Erfurt back to the top. It remains exciting to see how the team will develop under coach Gerber.
