FC St. Pauli

Striker Johannes Eggestein and midfielder Carlo Boukhalfa are leaving the Boys in Brown this summer after three years at the Millerntor. Eggestein made 85 appearances for the club, scoring 20 goals and providing 13 assists, while Boukhalfa clocked up 62 appearances and four goals.

Club president Oke Göttlich, director of sport Andreas Bornemann and commercial director Wilken Engelbracht reflected on a successful season and discussed a variety of current and future topics at a media conference on Wednesday.

FC St. Pauli slipped to a 2-0 defeat against VfL Bochum on the final day of the season, but their Bundesliga status is secure. Myron Boadu gave the visitors a 10th minute lead in front of another packed house at the Millerntor and doubled the advantage midway through the second half. Though the Boys in Brown could not ward off the defeat, they were able to celebrate staying up with the fans after the final whistle.
