The plan with audience favorite Sergio Kerusch

Weissenfels/MZ – While the playoffs in the basketball league have just begun, Syntainics MBC is already working on the squad for the coming season. Two weeks after staying up and the end of the regular season, the first division club from Weißenfels announced the first personnel decisions on Monday.

First, center John Bryant’s contract was extended by two years. And on the other hand it is certain that his position colleague Goran Huskic will not return to Syntainics MBC. And that’s not all: According to MZ information, the next personnel is imminent. “I hope,” says MBC Managing Director Martin Geissler, “that we will have clarity on that later this week.”

Who is it about? Almost certainly Kostja Mushidi. The 23-year-old moved to Weißenfels last winter and had developed into a top performer. Both parties now seem to agree that they want to continue working together in the coming season. The only thing missing is the signature under the new contract. There have probably already been verbal commitments from both sides.

However, the ink is dry under John Bryant’s new working paper. The 2.11 meter giant also joined Syntainics MBC during the course of the season. His yield in the MBC dress: 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds on average per game.

“After his arrival in January, he quickly became the calming influence in our team, both on and off the court,” said MBC head coach Igor Jovovic in praise of the center. “He benefits from his many years of experience and doesn’t let anything shake him.” It’s quite possible that Weißenfels will now be the last stop in Bryant’s career. The German-American turns 35 in June.

MBC: Sergio Kerusch should remain in Weißenfels in a new role

His center colleague Goran Huskic, on the other hand, is leaving Weißenfels after just one season. “He was a quality player who could decide games on his own if he wanted to,” says managing director Geissler, but: “We didn’t believe that he would have committed himself to our location in the long term. But that is essential. With us, you have to give it your all every day to achieve the goals.”

It is still unclear how the crowd’s favorite Sergio Kerusch will continue. As MZ learned, Syntainics MBC has now made the 33-year-old an offer to extend his contract. However, a smaller sporting role than last is planned for the veteran and the winger will probably also have to cut back financially.

“We are interested in keeping Sergio with us as the face of the club,” says Martin Geissler. “But we could also understand if he wants to play a bigger role in sport elsewhere.” It will probably be a few weeks before Kerusch, who is currently on vacation in the USA, makes a final decision.
