FSV Mainz manager Christian Heidel has stated that he honoured to guide his team to the Europa League after a great season last term. He expressed his delight on a tremendous season which saw Die Nullfunfer finish fifth in the
Bundesliga.
Mainz have improved considerably in the last few seasons after being promoted from the second division in 2009. The club finished ninth in the next season and a brilliant fifth last term accumulating 58 points. Heidel’s side won
18 and lost 12 of the 34 games played and subsequently ended up in the qualifying stages of the UEFA Europa League.
Heidel claimed that qualifying for the Europa League is a tremendous achievement for the club and rated that season gone by as a huge success. He insisted that the team has been improving in the last few seasons and are on their
way up. The manager admitted that he is privileged on being the fifth best club in the country and hoped to continue the great performances.
“We do not think at that time on economic matters, but for the first FSV Mainz 05 is to represent it for something extraordinary, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 in the Euro League. In particular, if one looks at the competition we have left behind us
last season. This is a huge http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 success,” he was quoted.
The tactician also revealed that the club are in search of a striker and a left back. He stated that the departure of Andre Schurrle to Bayer Leverkusen and the long-term injury to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ádám-Szalai-c3557 means that the club need a striker
whereas a replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Fuchs-c9078, who left for Schalke earlier this month, is also needed.
“We certainly look for a striker, because Adam Szalai will fail due to his cruciate ligament injury certainly most of the season so far. And by the departure of Christian Fuchs, we are also in the defensive area, next to Fabian
beautiful home, once again become active,” he concluded.
FSV Mainz will move to their new stadium, Coface Arena, in the new season.
