Lukas Podolski and Ron-Robert Zieler not only won the 2014 World Cup together. Both were also trained at 1. FC Köln and are deeply rooted in the city. One of the two lost sons is now returning to the club.

Zieler, most recently a long-time goalkeeper for Hannover 96, will be playing in the cathedral city again in the future.

Between 1999 and 2005, the keeper was trained by the Billy Goats. In the 2020/21 season, he already returned to his hometown on loan. Today, the 36-year-old signed a two-year contract with the FC and is expected to compete with Marvin Schwäbe for the starting position in goal.
