Landerl believes in Robatsch and Spari: FC St. Pauli's new hopes!

In the world of football there is again exciting news from Northern Germany. FC St. Pauli has signed a talented central defender in Jannik Robatsch. The 20-year-old comes from Austria Klagenfurt, where he has proven his skills in recent years. Although details about the transfer remain behind closed doors, expectations are high. Robatsch himself is looking forward to his new challenge in the Bundesliga and working with his new teammates in the vibrant city of Hamburg. As the FC St. Pauli website reported, his signing was described as promising by sports director Andreas Bornemann. However, he emphasizes that Robatsch needs time to get used to it.

For a long time, special attention was paid to Robatsch’s development. The young player moved from the ATUS Velden youth team to Klagenfurt in 2020 and has since made 41 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga, scoring two goals. He was also able to play in five games in the ÖFB Cup. He made his debut with the U21 national teams in March, which underlines his ambitions. Regarding his strengths, head coach Alexander Blessin emphasizes his courage and physical abilities.

The ex-coach's opinion

Rolf Martin Landerl, the newly appointed head coach of Austria Klagenfurt, spoke in an interview about the departure of Robatsch and his new teammate Simon Spari. Landerl was assistant coach until recently and has closely accompanied the two players in recent months. He firmly believes in their success at FC St. Pauli. “Both will surprise,” said Landerl, who describes Robatsch as a talented left central defender who impresses with his speed and strong nerves. Simon Spari, an ambitious goalkeeper, is also facing competition in the new season and will not be content with the role of third goalkeeper.

By moving to Hamburg, Robatsch and Spari have the opportunity to gain a foothold in one of the most exciting leagues in Europe. Landerl plans to follow the development of his former protégés closely and even wants to visit the FC St. Pauli training camp in Austria if time permits. Both players were well on the way to further development in established Klagenfurt football, and now it becomes clear whether this step into the Bundesliga will turn out to be the right one.

Again Kicker reports, the summer is peppered with many transfers, and Robatsch is just one of many who dares to take the step beyond domestic borders. Football fans are excited to see how the new faces will perform on their teams.
