Philipp Ziereis is contemplating a return to his native country once his contract with LASK concludes at the end of the 2024/25 season. Jahn Regensburg, a club where Ziereis spent his youth and early professional years, is being considered as a possible destination. He is thinking about this move as Jahn Regensburg faces challenges in the 2. Liga and may require leadership in the 3. Liga. The 32-year-old center-back, who has captained LASK, is reportedly not intending to renew his contract with the Austrian club. Ziereis joined LASK on a free transfer from FC St. Pauli in 2022 and has made 106 appearances for the team. With Jahn Regensburg currently at the bottom of the 2. Liga standings, Ziereis might play a pivotal role in leading a restructured squad, as 21 out of 32 player contracts at the club are due to expire, potentially assisting in their battle against relegation. Paul Komposch from TSV Hartberg is rumored to be a possible successor for Ziereis at LASK.
