Süle, who previously played for Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and the German national team, has started playing as a centre-forward for SV Tiefenbach, a ninth-division team in Germany. In his first match back, he scored a goal, but unfortunately, his team lost 7-2. This move marks a significant change in Süle's career, as he has transitioned from a defensive position to an attacking one.
Süle's decision to retire from football in May this year was due to a knee injury that forced him to break his contract with Borussia Dortmund. At the time, he prioritized his physical and mental health for the future. The 1.95m-tall defender has struggled with weight issues throughout his career, revealing that he had to take extreme measures to meet the weight requirements set by his clubs. During his time at Bayern Munich, Süle worked with coach Jupp Heynckes, who has been known for his demanding training methods.
Süle's weight struggles have been well-documented, with him admitting to passing long periods without eating and spending hours in the sauna to lose weight before weigh-ins. He has also spoken about the mental toll of his weight issues, stating that he was not mentally well and struggled to motivate himself. Süle's return to football is a significant development, and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to his new role as a centre-forward.
Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Süle's next step will be to continue playing for SV Tiefenbach and see how his new position develops.
