Wild speculation: FC in contact with ex-HSV boss?

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”.

A wild rumor reaches 1. FC Köln from Berlin: Jonas Boldt, who is actually traded as the new sports boss by Hertha BSC, is also said to be an issue at the Geißbockheim. The “picture” reports of an “intensive contact” between the FC and the unemployed official since its HSV-OUS in May 2024.

At FC, Boldt, who had filled out various positions from 2007 to 2019 at the Cologne Rival Bayer Bayer Leverkusen, would probably only be the successor to Managing Director Christian Keller. And there is currently no signs for its replacement, despite the recurring criticism of Keller’s squad planning, FC is facing the climb. On top of that, it would be a fist -thick surprise if the outgoing presidium was still making such a decision on its last meters.

Marvin Schwäbe at 1st FC Köln ensured a moment of shock at the away game against Hannover 96 (0: 1) on Sunday. The goalkeeper had to be treated on the knee after a long blow in the 15th minute. Since the FC number two Anthony Racioppi was already in use for the U21 on Friday evening, Philipp Pentke was already preparing the number three for a substitution.

Swabia, however, bit on the teeth, continued to play and preserved his team in Lower Saxony in the first half with numerous parades from a previous deficit. “I already had a bit of problems during the week, but everything is okay,” said the goalkeeper after the game itself. A mission against Jahn Regensburg next weekend is not on the brink.

Crazy world in the youngsters of 1. FC Köln: The U19 of the billy goats won 4: 3 at VfB Stuttgart in the round of 16. The team of coach Stefan Ruthenbeck was 0: 3 behind after only ten minutes. In the end, however, FC won after extra time.

Fayssal Harchaoui brought FC to 1: 3 before the half -time break (42nd). Fynn Schenten marked the 2: 3 in the 60th minute. In the added time of the regular season, it was central defender Assad Kotya-Fofana who still achieved the 3: 3 equalization (90+3. minute). In the extension everything looked like penalty shootout, but after a solo, Youssoupha Niang only scored seconds before the end of the game for 4: 3 victory (120+1. minute).

FC is in the quarter -finals for the German championship and will meet the winner of the game between Karlsruher SC and Hamburger SV in a week. The game increases on the weekend of May 2 to 4, 2025 in Cologne in the Franz-Kremer Stadium. The winner of this game moves into the semi -finals.

Linton Maina surprisingly did not return to the 1st FC Köln squad on Saturday. The offensive player completed the final training with the team, but then did not get on the bus for the away game at Hannover 96. After just one training week, Maina was not fit enough for a mission.

Linton Maina (to the outer band tear) and Max Finkgräfe (after muscle injury) should be back in the squad of 1st FC Köln on Sunday afternoon in Hanover. “At Linton it looks very good, it is available for the weekend. Max too, he will also be there,” announced coach Gerhard Struber.

With Maina, who missed six games due to his serious ankle injury, the best Cologne template is returned. “We have experienced long phases in the championship with a lower availability of so -called key players. Now we have one more with us again,” says Struber, who probably has to do without central defenders Julian Pauli (sick).
