Tiffert has a lot of experience, not only as a former Bundesliga professional, but also through his previous stations as co-and head coach at Chemnitzer FC.

A total of 16 field players and two goalkeepers took part in the first training session. Among the contributors, Albin Berisha, who after his transfer to the U 23, now trained with a facial mask was to protect a jaw injury. According to Transfermarkt.de, Berisha has a contract until 2027 and is one of the team's hopefuls.

a fresh wind in the U 23

Christian Tiffert is looking forward to the challenge at Hansa Rostock. His goal is to train young talents and offer them perspectives. This was also emphasized by Michael Meier, who works in the youth area of ​​the association, and emphasizes Tiffert's commitment in the integration of young players. The trainer is currently participating in the 71st per license course of the DFB, which he would like to complete at the end of 2025. The change on the coaching bank could give the U 23 fresh impulses and bring new energy that is necessary for a successful season.

The U 23 ended the past season in the NOFV Oberliga Nord in a solid fourth place and could outperform the goals for the coming season with the new line-up. With 14 points behind the leaders BFC Preussen, only the gradual structure of a competitive team is promising in the long run.

preparations for the new season

To prepare optimally for the coming season, four test games have already been planned for the next few weeks: on July 4 against FSV Schorfheide Joachimsthal, on July 5 against TSV 1860 Stralsund, on July 12th against SV Barth and finally on July 19 against FSV Luckenwalde. The new Oberliga season then starts on the first weekend in August and all eyes will be aimed at the U 23 from Hansa.

The young team can build on reinforcement by external new additions. Marc Bölter from Eintracht Norderstedt is the only new addition to the new season, while five players from the U 19 move to the team. With this mix of new and proven potential, Hansa Rostock can look optimistically into the upcoming challenges.

The mood in the team and the new team of coaches could be crucial to place the U 23 back in the upper table region. As football shows again and again, a fresh wind can often work wonders when the squad quality is right and the motivation remains high. Fans and those responsible for the association are excited to see how the team will develop under the direction of Tiffert and whether they can achieve the goals set.
