From his 7 years at the club, he not only brought experience but also a deep connection to the club's values and goals.
Being named captain comes with a high level of responsibility, and Friedl has proven in the past that he can live up to it. The development of the squad under his leadership is a central goal that he would like to advance together with the new vice-captain Jens Stage.
