Overview
- Erik Majetschak signed for SSV Jahn Regensburg on Tuesday on a contract running until 30 June 2028 after seven years at Erzgebirge Aue and 146 competitive appearances.
- In an Instagram post he said his and the club’s views on sporting direction and appreciation had diverged and he urged Aue to restore 'Kumpelwerte' and give coach Khvicha Shubitidze full trust.
- FC Erzgebirge Aue says it had offered Majetschak a contract extension but the player chose to remain in the 3. Liga with Regensburg.
- Aue is continuing rapid squad turnover as it prepares for the Regionalliga and on Tuesday announced the signing of winger Christoph Pauling on an initial one‑season deal described by the club as a move to add pace to the attack.
- Local commentators and fans view Majetschak’s departure and comments as a sign of deeper internal divisions, which increases pressure on the club to secure unity and clear sporting direction if it is to regroup successfully in the Regionalliga.
