I still take the time to write something that interests me, especially the content of transfers. German second division team Hannover 96 officially announced that it has renewed the contract of 35-year-old main goalkeeper and captain Ron-Robert Zieler (Ron-Robert Zieler) for one year. Zeller is a former Germany international who won the 2014 World Cup with the team. He made 344 appearances for Hannover, the seventh all-time.
Hannover 96 has announced the renewal of Zeller's contract until June 30, 2025. Mann, sporting director at Hannover, said: "Zeller is definitely an iconic figure for the Hannover 96 club and the entire Hannover region. As our captain, he is not only a leader on the pitch, but also has a lot of responsibility off the pitch and is delighted to have him renew his contract with us. ”
"Everyone knows that Hannover 96 is my club and Hannover has become my home," says Zeller. I have a great team with a lot of good young players and I'm confident in the development of the team and I'm excited to continue to be part of the team and I'm going to do everything I can to contribute to the team. ”
A graduate of the Cologne academy, Ziller spent a brief stint at Manchester United (2005-2010) before moving to Hannover 96 in 2010 before leaving after six years at Leicester City and Stuttgart before returning in 2019. In total, he made 344 appearances for Hannover 96, which ranks seventh all-time, and is expected to be in the top six of all time next season. Ziller also made six appearances for the German national team, playing in Euro 2012 and the 2014 World Cup, and although he did not play, he won the World Cup with the team.
Ziller has conceded 38 goals and kept seven clean sheets in 30 appearances this season, and although there are four rounds left in the Bundesliga, Hannover, who are only sixth, are 10 points behind third-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf and have all but lost hope of qualifying for the promotion play-offs. Will Zeller be able to lead his team back to the top flight next season?
