Hannover 96 to give Ime Okon enough time to settle in Germany
The MD of Bundesliga B side Hannover 96, Marcus Mann, says they are going to give former SuperSport United defender Ime Okon all the time he needs to settle at the German club. Okon, who recently made his Bafana Bafana debut during the Cosafa Cup in Bloemfontein, has been a standout performer for United for the past few seasons in the heart of the defence. 'Ime is a player with exciting potential and very good physical attributes. Christian Titz and André Kilian have been observing his development for some time. We then collected data on him during scouting and evaluated his athletic profile, which is exceptional,' said Mann.

Hannover 96 appoint new manager in Christian Titz
The transfer of headcoach Christian Titz from Magdeburg to Hannover is now official: the 96ers pay a reported fee of €500k in order to secure his services for next season. Hannover would have to pay another €200k, if they were to get promoted to the Bundesliga in the 2025/26 season. Titz has managed Magdeburg for 4,5 years and 165 games while averaging a points-per-game ratio of 1.59. Magdeburg finished the 2024/25 season in 5th place, only missing out on the relegation rank by five points. Advertisement Hannover on the other hand finished in 9th - too little for the 96ers who are dreaming of finally returning to the Bundesliga. Hannover's CEO Marcus Mann commented on the Titz transfer: 'Christian Titz has a very clear philosophy and stands for the kind of football we want to see at Hannover 96: courageous, intense and forward-looking. He will also continue our chosen path of integrating and developing young players into the licensed team and fill it with life. Now it's the team's job to work hard from day one together with the coaching team to absorb and internalize the playing idea and bring it onto the pitch.' The 54-year-old Titz, who requested to leave Magdeburg at the end of the 2024/25 season, also talked about his transfer to Hannover: 'I am grateful that I have been given the trust and responsibility to take over as coach at Hannover 96. Now I'm very excited to get to know the team and the people around it, and I'm looking forward to the city and the people around the club, who we want to involve and take with us on our journey together right from the start.' Some Championship clubs and Schalke 04 were also interested in Titz's signature, but he decided in favour of Hannover in the end. Titz's contract with Hannover runs until the end of the 2026/27 season.
