Club manager Florian EBNER is happy: “It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we didn’t want to miss. To get such talents to Neu-Ulm thanks to Dima OVTCHAROV’S charisma -who could have imagined that 3 years ago when our club was founded?”

Dimitrij OVTCHAROV talked of his move and the new perspective: “I felt very comfortable in Orenburg but the situation left me no choice. Thanks to Florian EBNER’S enthusiasm for sports and his understanding of my desire to continue playing up front in the Champions League we have now started an exciting and inspiring project with HARIMOTO LIN and MOREGARD which fascinates me and totally motivates me. I am very happy to be coming back to Germany.”
