Promotion has not yet been ticked off, two talents leave, hope for returnees.
Altenerding - Football-A-Classic SpVgg Altenerding has agreed on further cooperation with coach Pedro Locke.
“It was quick.
He exceeded expectations and was able to quickly form a team with his own young talent, ”says a happy sports director Mathias Dasch.
Locke returned the praise: “We have planned a long-term collaboration, and I can actually imagine working for several years.
Both the cooperation and the infrastructure - also improved by the new artificial turf pitch - are great.
The active players are also fully involved, and because of the good youth work, well-trained players are added soon. "
The contract extension is independent of the league, but the SpVgg has not stopped the fight for promotion.
"If we can keep the form from the recent past, I still see ourselves in the race," said Locke, who will have to do without David Riederle and Ömer Altinisik.
As reported, the two are moving to local rivals FC Langengeisling.
"This loss hurts," says department head Andreas Heilmaier.
He can understand the appeal of playing at a higher level, but was surprised at the timing.
Locke sees it similarly.
“I think the boys were signed as perspective players.
I think it would have been better if they had played with us for another year or two before they took that step where higher-class clubs would have tried to get them to be regular players.
The door for a possible return remains open at any time. "
In return, two top performers, Tobias Neuner and Dominic Florian, are returning after protracted injuries.
Locke also has high hopes for Faisal Haris, who “after his comeback in autumn is now fully attacking.
He will help us with his qualities ”.
Three other alumni are planning to return.
“These are kickers who were among the top performers in the SpVgg's junior division before they took a break for various reasons.
Now they want to attack again in preparation and then decide whether they can fully participate ”, Locke reveals something about the trio, but does not want to name the names yet.
The looks of the officials go beyond this season.
This time, too, great expectations are placed on their own offspring, because the junior period is ending for many players.
These talents should gain a foothold in the men's division this season.
According to Dasch, the SpVgg plans “to switch to the new teams for the 2021/22 season after the junior points round, so that they can then gain experience with the men.” In addition, the SpVgg also has external newcomers in mind to improve the quality of the squad and to optimize it quantitatively.
"Our potential is very, very good, but something is lacking in breadth, which is a problem, especially for the second team," continues Dasch, who wants to improve the structure of the B-class team with the measures.
The priority now is to extend with coach Rene Feuker.
"He does an excellent job, but we have to support him with an increase in players so that he can realize his ideas," said Dasch.
