Surprise transfer in the second handball Bundesliga!
The handball superstar had ended his career as a player at Paris Saint-Germain last week. With Sigurdsson’s commitment, Gummersbach had “made a very special coup,” wrote the club. The Sigurdsson contract expires in the summer of 2022.
Managing Director Christoph Schindler: “Goggi is one of the most successful and best handball players of the past 20 years and is therefore already a handball legend. On the one hand he has an incredible experience as a player and on the other hand he is passionate about his new job as a coach. “
With Paris, Sigurdsson was declared a champion after the end of the season due to the Corona crisis. He also won titles in his home country, in Spain, Denmark and Germany. In the Bundesliga, the left winger became champion in 2013 and 2014 with the THW Kiel and in 2017 with the Rhein-Neckar Löwen. His greatest successes are the Champions League title with FC Barcelona in 2015 and Olympic silver in 2008 with Iceland’s national team.
He also played in Gummersbach from 2005 to 2008, quickly becoming a favorite with the public and a top performer.
Sigurdsson: “My family and I always felt very comfortable in Gummersbach and we have fond memories of that time.”
