Markus Kost leaves the judo sports club Speyer after twelve years and in January takes a full coaching position at the Thuringian state performance base in Jena. The association announced this.
Kost came to Speyer as a member of the Bundesliga team and completed his voluntary social year at the JSV. Later, Kost got himself involved as a coach and looked after the under-15-year-olds from the Palatinate squad.
