FC St. Pauli

Morgan Guilavogui is leaving FC St. Pauli. The Boys in Brown signed the striker on loan from RC Lens before the start of last season and then made use of an option in the contract to make the deal permanent. As the French top-division club then exercised its own option to buy the player back within the time allowed, however, the 27-year-old Guinea international will now return to France.

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.
