Christoph Gerlach returns: FSV Neunkirchen-Seelscheid in focus!

On April 4, 2025, FSV Neunkirchen-Seelscheid expects an exciting derby that is of particular importance not only for the players, but also for fans. Christoph Gerlach, former player of TuS Oberpleis, returns in the role of the trainer to retire for the first leg of 1: 4. Gerlach, who was active in the 2014/15 season in the TuS Landesliga squad, had no opportunity to show his full potential due to injury, since he only completed six games for the reserve.

his commitment to Neunkirchen-Seelscheid has linked Gerlach to the positive memories of his time in Oberpleis. He emphasizes how important he returns to his roots and is full of anticipation for the encounter. "I want to bring my players closer to the importance of this derby," says Gerlach. In addition, Nils Stephan, who switched from Oberpleis to FSV in winter, has already scored four goals in the second half of the season. Gerlach praises the integration and quality Stehpan, which is an important motivation boost for the team.

Current challenges in the squad

Despite the positive team spirit, FSV Neunkirchen-Seelscheid has to deal with some challenges. In this derby, the team will have to do without Nils Lokosch, who suffers from a muscle injury, and Mika Jetzlaff, who has suffered a ligament injury. Their absence is considered a noticeable loss, especially in such an important game.

Co -coaching colleague Marcus Voike emphasizes how crucial it is for the team to give 100 percent at this crucial moment in order to meet the expectations of the fans and to win the derby.
