Sebastian Polter has just spoken about his plans for the future, and now a move to an exciting club is already on the cards. Sebastian Polter is a super sub at Eintracht Braunschweig under coach Heiner Backhaus. He typically comes on for the last ten or 20 minutes. Only in the 1-3 defeat to Preußen Münster on matchday 12 was he allowed to start.
As reported by the “Braunschweiger Zeitung,” also a FUNKE title, the 34-year-old could take on a new challenge this winter. According to the report, the striker has received an offer to join Serbian first division club Partizan Belgrade. There he would replace Jovan Milosevic, whose loan from VfB Stuttgart has been terminated. Milosevic now plays for Werder Bremen. Apart from a year and a half spent with Queens Park Rangers in England, this would be Polter’s first spell abroad. Partizan Belgrade is known for its atmospheric derbies against Red Star.
A rivalry that is also reflected in the Serbian first division table. Partizan is marching ahead with 46 points, with Red Star close behind with 45 points. Vojvodina Novi Sad is also within striking distance with 40 points.
Polter recently spoke about his future plans on the “Bild” podcast “Stammplatz.” At the age of 34, Polter, who will turn 35 in April, is now reaching an age “at which I have to think about what will happen after my active soccer career for months and years.” However, he has clear plans for the near future: “I’m leaning towards continuing to play.”
But Polter is also already preparing for life after his career. The center forward is already working on his coaching licenses. “I’m part of the DFB Player’s Pathway and am doing my B license there.” This program is aimed at active players who want to transition into coaching or management roles in soccer after their careers. Polter is currently preparing for his coaching career. “I plan to complete my A license immediately after my B license. I think I’ll have enough points to apply there. I want to collect my licenses, be meticulous, and embark on a new path as a coach. I’m leaning toward continuing to play and taking on a hybrid role somewhere. But none of this is set in stone. It’s also a family decision. I’m excited to see what lies ahead.”
