Manuel Riemann extends to 2025

Our number one is staying put: Manuel Riemann has signed a new contract that runs until June 30, 2025. The previous contract would have expired next year. Riemann has been VfL goalkeeper since 2015 and has played 218 competitive games for the Blue and Whites so far, including 31 games in the Bundesliga.

Sebastian Schindzielorz, Director of Sport at VfL Bochum 1848, is delighted that Riemann will remain at Castroper Straße: “Manuel Riemann is an important part of the team. After his consistently good performances in the 2. Bundesliga, he has now proven that he is a top goalkeeper in the Bundesliga as well. Manu has immediately landed in the top 10 goalkeepers with his clean sheets.”

“The Bundesliga was always a dream of mine,” says Manuel Riemann. “In the meantime, I am a Bundesliga goalkeeper and know that I can hold my own there with my performances. The desire to continue to be part of VfL and the Bundesliga is very strong. In this regard, I will continue to do everything I can to live up to the expectations placed on me.”
