Overview
- Dejan Bozic told fans on Instagram Tuesday that he will leave at season’s end and that he never received a written offer.
- Chemnitzer FC said Wednesday it had offered a verbal extension to 2028 with a further option during a face-to-face meeting on April 16.
- The club explains that an automatic renewal tied to appearances did not trigger after he missed the Altglienicke away match through illness, a clause type common in lower-league contracts.
- Sport director Chris Löwe said the striker’s agent later sought a significant pay rise the club could not meet, and executives criticized Bozic for taking the dispute public.
- Coach Benjamin Duda would not say if Bozic will start the season finale, and the club plans a formal farewell in July for a forward who scored 69 goals in 142 games.
