What kind of performance can Sebastian Hoeneß deliver in his sophomore season at Stuttgart?

By LoneStar249 Updated Aug 7, 2024, 8:01pm CEST

Stuttgart finished last season in 2nd place, the club’s best finish since winning the league in 2007. But the success came at a price, as they lost its top two scorers and top two defenders. They will bring in Ermedin Demirović, who is coming off a career-high 15 goals for Augsburg.

Last season, Harry Kane scored a brace in a 3-0 rout over Stuttgart but Stuttgart scored two late goals to win 3-1 in May.

With Bayern Munich and Dortmund reloading this transfer window, former Bayern II manager Sebastian Hoeneß will need to pull all the right strings for Stuttgart to muster another top five finish.
