Bang at 1. FC Köln: Keller and Struber have to go!

The 1. FC Köln is the football club from the cathedral city. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “billy goats”.

Christian Keller and Gerhard Struber are in front of the 1st FC Köln. The personnel bang announced on Sunday when the board, management and sporting management met for the crisis discussion. On Sunday evening, the sports director and the head coach have to go – and immediately.

The discharge of the duo is to be confirmed by the association on Monday morning. In the embarrassment of 1-1 against Regensburg, the fans of the billy goats had turned against the basement and struber and loudly demanded the duo to be thrown out. Two game days before the end, FC is there without a sporting tour.

Mark Uth ends his active career after the 2024/25 season. According to a report by the Geissblog, the 33-year-old informed the team on Saturday before the home game against SSV Jahn Regensburg. Now the FC has also confirmed this: “Following the standard meeting, Mark Uth spoke to the team and announced his end of his career,” says the association’s website. The ex-international was hardly used this season due to numerous injuries.

After an almost three -year suffering due to a pubic violation, Uth hangs up his football shoes. “The team here at the Geißbockheim was not easy for me,” Uth is quoted. “At the age of twelve, my path started at FC and after a time in professional football that I am really proud of, I am happy that he ends here.” Until then Uth has one goal: “That we are back in the Bundesliga after the last two games.”

The Cologne native has played 294 professional games so far, 76 of them for 1. FC Köln, where he had switched from youth to professional football. Uth also played for Heerenveen and Almelo in the Netherlands as well as for TSG Hoffenheim and FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.

Surprise in the goal of 1. FC Köln: Anthony Racioppi is only number three at the billy goats. The Swiss had only been hired on loan in winter, FC even has a purchase option for the 26-year-old. But the goalkeeper will probably not sit on the replacement bank against Jahn Regensburg on Saturday.

Marvin Schwäbe reported on Friday due to discomfort from training, but according to Gerhard Struber, it should be between the posts on Saturday. However, if the regular keeper failed, according to Struber with Philipp Pentke, the previous number three would be in goal and not Racioppi. A departure of the Swiss in summer is considered likely.

Another long -term injury professional of the 1st FC Köln has returned to team training. Jusuf Gazibegovic was able to work together with his teammates for the first time after his Syndesmoseriss on Thursday, at least partially integrated in the Franz-Kremer Stadium.

Chief coach Gerhard Struber only had to do without a single player on the holiday. Except for Luca Kilian, who continues to recover from his second cruciate ligament tear, all FC professionals are in training. Except for Gazibegovic, for which the game comes too early, all actors are also an option for the home game against Jahn Regensburg on Saturday evening.

The 1. FC Köln should be interested in three players of the relegation threatened VfL Bochum. In addition to defender Bernardo, which has recently been speculated, according to the “Sport Bild”, central defender Tim Oermann and midfielder Tom Krauss should also be an issue at the Geißbockheim.
