Basketball - Unknown goal: Captain Thiemann leaves Alba Berlin
Basketball Vice-Champion Alba Berlin must determine a new captain for the new season in the Bundesliga and Euroleague. With Johannes Thiemann leaving, the current team leader bids farewell to Berlin, as the club announced. The 30-year-old world champion spent a total of six years with Alba, winning five titles. After the expiration of his contract, he seeks a new challenge.
"It was a really difficult decision to leave ALBA. I have not only found many friends in Berlin, but also a home," Thiemann is quoted as saying. He also thanked the fans in a video for their support. Center Thiemann won three championships and two cup titles with Alba. In the Final Series of the 2021/22 season, Thiemann, who moved up to tenth place in Alba's all-time table with 359 league games, was named the most valuable player.
Despite Thiemann's departure from ALBA Berlin, his impact on the club remains significant in the Bundesliga and Euroleague. The dawn of a new era in basketball for ALBA Berlin begins as they search for a new captain, following Johannes Thiemann's decision to pursue a new challenge after six years of service in Berlin. As the sun rises on a new season, the city of Berlin will undoubtedly miss the talents of Thiemann, a renowned center who contributed significantly to ALBA Berlin's success in the Bundesliga.
