At the age of 27, most football players are in the prime of their careers and retiring is not yet a problem. Not so with Hendrik Weydandt. The striker of Hannover 96 will stop playing football after this season. The reason for this is neither his age nor his health. Because the German comes to work for his father’s tax office after his contract ends.
“Many of you will have noticed that before my football career, but also during my football career, I was involved in taxation and auditing, and that I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees here in Hanover in this field,” says Weydandt to the club newspaper. website. Now he wants to take the opportunity to devote himself to this task in a new phase of his life. He has had the decision in mind for several weeks and shared it with his teammates on the field after training.
With the change of industry, the 1.95 meter giant will probably miss out on a lot of money. According to the German “Bild” he earned about 45,000 euros a month at Hannover 96. But he will miss his teammates the most. “What I will miss the most is the dressing room. It has something magical. It’s something that can give you a lot, a lot of positive energy.”
Like his retirement, the start of his professional career was rather unconventional. Weydandt was never active in a Bundesliga youth team and for a long time only played as an amateur player in addition to his studies. Only in 2018, at the age of 23, did he move from Oberliga club 1. FC Germania Egestorf to the second team in Hannover 96. There he was called up by coach André Breitenreiter for the professional squad for a game in the DFB Cup and promptly grabbed his opportunity.
In his statement, he again expressed a special thank you to the head coach at FCZ. “I would also like to thank André Breitenreiter, who finally opened the door to professional football for me.”
So far, Weydandt has played 19 games this season and scored two goals. Four more missions follow before he finally exchanges his football boots for a mouse and keyboard. (byl)
