    It might not mean anything but Suhl's assistant coach posted a video on his IG with Alina Zellin saying he's working with her now to get her into the best shape for next season. Erfurt announced that she's leaving but it's hard to imagine Suhl signing her :/ Laakkonen and Berger are staying so they "only" need a 3rd MB and seeing how little Hollosy uses his bench it's possible though that Zellin is that 3rd MB...

    Quote from Gymnicus

    Perhaps he's doing the athletic training with her as a freelancer. He's been listed as looking for a club on Volleybox for quite some time now, so it's unclear whether he'll even stay in Suhl.

    Alexander Mantlik mentioned at the end of season celebration that they managed to convince him to stay for another year after they qualified for the Champions League, despite lucrative offers. Michal Kotulic is the only staff leaving.

    Interesting, so similar to last year. If my memory serves me right, it was the same last year. He also registered as a job seeker on Volleybox and then stayed in Suhl. The only odd thing for me is that he's still marked as job seeker on Volleybox, even though he's apparently been online in the meantime.
