Pia Kästner returns: Stuttgart volleyball is celebrating a comeback!

The volleyball world is in turmoil: national player Pia Kästner is returning to Allianz MTV Stuttgart! After her planned move to Italy was canceled due to injury, the 26-year-old setter will play for her old club again. After two successful seasons at SSC Palmberg Schwerin, Kästner has finally decided to return to her familiar surroundings, which promises to be a decisive change not only for her, but also for the Stuttgart team. In a club statement, Kästner said: "As the saying goes - you always see each other twice in your life. I'm looking forward to returning to familiar surroundings after my injury," said the player, who was active for Stuttgart from 2017 to 2021. This return is described by sporting director Kim Oszvald-Renkema as a “win-win situation” that will provide the team with both stability and experience.

Important step for Stuttgart

The decision to bring Kästner back is a reaction to the fluctuating performance at the setter position in the team. Coach Konstantin Bitter hopes for quick integration and also for the positive charisma that Kästner brings with him as a personality. “Pia can get fit again at a high level after her injury and find her way back to her old strength,” said Oszvald-Renkema. It seems as if the contact between Kästner and her former club never really ended. She recently attended Allianz MTV Stuttgart's Supercup victory against Schweriner SC and was visibly pleased to see her former teammates in the Porsche Arena. Now she will wear her club's jersey again and demonstrate her skills on the field in the coveted Scharrena, where the team regularly plays its home games.

Pia Kästner's return is viewed as a significant event in the Volleyball Bundesliga. This could be the decisive step for the Stuttgart team to stabilize their performances and at the same time inspire the spectators. In the coming season, fans can look forward to exciting games with Kästner, one of Germany's top players, who clearly has the potential to lead her team to success. How Stuttgart News reported, their return is seen as a key moment for the Bundesliga season.
