FC St. Pauli is looking for a replacement for Manolis Saliakas, who joined Olympiakos Piräus just under a week ago. The search may take time as the club needs to find a suitable candidate who can fit in behind Arkadiusz Pyrka.

What happened?

Manolis Saliakas is no longer playing for FC St. Pauli after joining Olympiakos Piräus. The 29-year-old has left FC St. Pauli, and the search for a replacement is underway.

Why is the search so difficult?

FC St. Pauli's management is looking for a suitable candidate who meets the team's requirements. Sport chief Andreas Bornemann said that the profile of the new player is already fairly well defined. However, the new player will have to fit in behind Arkadiusz Pyrka, who has already established himself.

What's next?

FC St. Pauli is currently 16th in the Bundesliga table, with 26 points and a record of 6 wins, 8 draws, and 16 losses from 30 games. The team has a lot to do in the upcoming season, and the new player will have to take on the role of a challenger. FC St. Pauli's next game is on November 28, 2026, against Dynamo Dresden.
