Lok Leipzig starts the new season with patience - surprise possible!
On Monday, June 20, 2025, FC Lok Leipzig will start training in Probstheida to prepare for the coming season. The club not only won the title of Saxon Cup winner this season, but also secured the championship title of the Regionalliga Nordost. However, Lok failed in the relegation to the 3rd league against TSV Havelse, which was quickly checked off despite the disappointment of coach Jochen Seitz. Seitz sees the relegation as positive because his team did not lose a regular game; the defeat only came in extra time.
Among the challenges facing the club is the departure of ten players. The squad is currently not complete and only 15 to 16 players are available for training sessions. It remains to be seen how quickly the team can get back to a competitive level. Except for Noel Eichinger, who returned to his previous club in Regensburg, Lok Leipzig was able to keep a large part of the starting eleven.
Preparation and favorite situation
The current situation requires patience, as coach Seitz emphasizes. He does not see the club as top favorites next season, especially due to the upheaval that is taking place and the shortened preparation time. In his opinion, the teams from Halle, Zwickau, Erfurt and Jena are the most likely contenders for the title. However, Seitz is sure that Lok Leipzig can appear as a surprise team again.
The preparation period will be crucial in preparing the squad for the challenges of the new season. The players have worked hard in the last few weeks and are trying to adapt to the new circumstances. Despite the difficulties and uncertainties, the coach is optimistic about the future and is relying on his team's potential to once again cause a sensation in German football.
