SpVgg Greuther Fürth begins season preparation and says goodbye to defender Reno Münz, who transfers to KVC Westerlo. The 20-year-old played 50 matches for the team in the last two seasons.

What happened?

SpVgg Greuther Fürth has started their preparation for the new season in the 2. Bundesliga. Coach Heiko Vogel gathered his team for the official start of training. New signings Christian Ortag and attacker Shinta Appelkamp were also present.

Why it matters

The team had to fight for survival in the previous season and only secured their spot in the relegation playoffs. In the new season, the defensively vulnerable team wants to present itself more stably.

What comes next?

SpVgg Greuther Fürth will play five test matches, including one against SpVgg Bayreuth. The first round of the DFB-Pokal has already been scheduled and will take place on Sunday, August 23, at home against VfL Bochum. The team is currently 16th in the 2. Bundesliga with 37 points and a record of 10 wins, 7 draws, and 17 losses from 34 games.
