Julian Guttau came from SC Freiburg and impressed at TSV 1860 Munich. The former Halle player was a commuter between the bench and the pitch under Maurizio Jacobacci in the first half of the season.

Sports director Christian Werner still wants to keep the squad together. The development that took 1860 out of the relegation zone is a matter of just 20 or 30 meters on the field. A tactical trick was enough for Argirios Giannikis to make Gutt Hau the player the Lions were missing.
