Lukas Podolski, a former national player and star of Köln, is currently playing for Gornik Zabrze in Poland. His contract runs until 2025. However, fans of 1. FC Köln are vehemently demanding his return. The idea of Podolski taking responsibility and saving FC is not far-fetched as he had always planned to join FC after his career. However, the current board, including President Werner Wolf, does not intend to step down, creating a barrier for Podolski's return. Podolski himself has not ruled out a possible return as President or Vice Boss.
