Handball Bundesliga - Rhein-Neckar Lowen assure 'more quality' in squad
The Rhein-Neckar Löwen begin the new season in the Handball Bundesliga with great optimism. Coach Sebastian Hinze stated at a press conference at the training center in Kronau that he now has "more quality" in the squad due to the new signings. The Löwen have strengthened with German national players Tim Nothdurft (Bergischer HC) and Sebastian Heymann (Frisch Auf Göppingen) as well as the Croatian left back Ivan Martinovic (MT Melsungen). Heymann and Martinovic are missing in the first training weeks due to their participation in the Olympics in Paris.
The previous season ended disappointingly for the Mannheim team with the twelfth place, after which managing director Jennifer Kettemann had to leave. Great hopes now rest on club legend Uwe Gensheimer. The former world-class left winger will be built up by the Löwen after the end of his active career as a sporting director, but he has not yet named a specific season goal. It's about "establishing Rhineland Lion handball with tempo and quality in defense," Gensheimer said.
