FC Augsburg gets Elversberg captain Robin Fellhauer for the Bundesliga!

Augsburg, Deutschland - FC Augsburg made a real catch! As the association has officially announced, Robin Fellhauer, the captain of SV Elversberg, will in future be on the pitch for the Fuggerstadt. The 27-year-old middle player made aware of strong performances last season and will now open a new chapter in his career.

With a contract by June 30, 2029, Fellhauer is not only valued as a flexible player, but also as someone who can appear both in the middle and in the defense. Last season he scored seven goals in 28 competitive games and gave four assists. His goal in the relegation second leg against the 1. FC Heidenheim, which caused a breath of fresh air, was particularly remarkable. FC Augsburg Managing Director Michael Ströll describes the newcomer as running and duel strong and highlights its offensive qualities.

a promising change

The move to Augsburg takes place via an exit clause of 700,000 euros. Despite this sum, the joy of the new player is great, because Fellhauer has established himself as an indispensable player at Elversberg during his time. He played a total of 178 games there in six years. Unlike many footballers, Fellhauer has not yet played a single Bundesliga game, which makes him all the more motivated to gain a foothold in the highest German division. "Playing in the Bundesliga was always my goal," he said about the new challenge.

Fellhauer was born in Mannheim and went through the youth academies of 1st FC Saarbrücken and SC Freiburg. So he can look back on a solid training and already brings experience from several U-international matches for Germany.

changes in the club

FC Augsburg has also made some changes in the sporting management. After the dismissal of coach Jess Thorup and sports director Marking Jurendic, a new coach was hired with Sandro Wagner. Beni Weber, former analyst of Chelsea, will be active in the sports directorate. The return of Manuel Baum as well as the commitment of Julian Baumgartlinger and Marc Lettau, the former sports director of VfL Bochum, also promise fresh wind in the team. These restructuring should not only promote sporting performance, but also open a new chapter in the club.

With his number 19 Fellhauer, Fellhauer is now part of an exciting era at the FCA and you can be excited to see which impulses he will set in the coming Bundesliga season.
