FSV Mainz tie knots with Malik Fathi until 2015 - Bundesliga news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 05 have tied knots with former Spartak Moscow left back, Malik Fathi, until 2015. The player spent the last season on loan at Mainz and impressed the O-Fives officials with his tantalizing game play and physical display. Fathi was delighted after
signing a four-year contract with the club and hoped to get more first team action under his belt.
The German returned to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 at the conclusion of the last campaign but was aware of his possible capture by the German side. He himself enjoyed playing in German conditions and wanted to extend his stay in the Bundesliga. The defender reckoned that he
stands a greater chance of winning silverware while playing in one of the top leagues around.
Mainz coach, Thomas Tuchel, was pleased to have secured the deal for the left back and hoped that the German international could improve upon his consistency from the last season. The Manager also showed gratitude towards Spartak officials for agreeing upon
the deal and wished the player success for his future at Coface Arena.
While addressing a press conference, Tuchel added, "This transfer suits everyone. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Malik-Fathi-c23270 feels as though he never left us. We know each other inside out. He brings the kind of quality we're looking for to the squad."
Fathi would join his teammates in Germany once they return from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Austria-c2844 where the training sessions are being held. The 27-year-old is already looking forward for his permanent journey in the Bundesliga from next season onwards and was also hopeful of attaining
a European berth.
The Berlin-born player made 33 appearances while on loan at Mainz and netted a solitary goal in return. Fathi joined Spartak in 2008 and managed 37 league appearances before eventually parting ways with them recently. This won’t be a new experience for the
defender in Germany as he started his professional career with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hertha-BSC-c39521 in 2003 and appeared in 123 league games during his three-year stay at the club.
Fathi made his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 debut in 2006 and has two caps under his belt until now.
