Beat Hochmuth announces his move to FC Saint Marina

STAVENTER- Beat Hochmuth, widely regarded as one of the best footballers of all time, announced he would be leaving Pedeit FC and is taking his talents to FC Saint Marina, the top Albarinean club. He signed a four-year deal which will see him earning 61.3 million over the course of play. The move caps his five-year run at Pedeit, which saw him lead the team to two Premier 1 titles, a runner-up in the final, and the other two seasons in the playoff tournaments. He scored a total of 81 goals at Pedeit.

"There were several offers on the table, and at the end of the day I knew I wanted to play in a foreign club," Hochmuth said ahead of announcing his move. "My time in my home country has been the greatest period of my life, and I am so proud of what my teams and I have accomplished. I will continue my career on the international stage, both in Champion and National Cups, and look forward to representing Shoassau in the 2024 World Cup."

"I am headed to Saint Marina," Hochmuth said, as cameras flashed and applause filled the announcement hall. Hochmuth proceeded to put on the famous white and gold logo hat, representing Saint Marina's nickname "Shine City".

Hochmuth had received multiple offers to play for clubs abroad, including Normark's top club Rød Sol, the North Kandsonian club Lamstin Hawks, Wallenland's Vao'okoà West FC, and Besmenia's elite FC Schwarz-Weiß Melmingen. Ultimately, according to Hochmuth, he wanted to play with friends and a coaching staff he has long admired.

"Coach Thiago Fontes is a superb and admirable coach, and his personal reaching out was both a shock and a welcome surprise," Hochmuth said. "I've long respected him and what he's done for Shine City, and I can't wait to play."

Hochmuth's first game with FC Saint Marina is scheduled for January 28th, in a match against Geeleston City Club.

Hochmuth played as a forward for Pedeit FC since 2018 and for the Shoassau national football team since 2006. He began his professional career with Staventer Union from 2003-09, and at Haute City FC from 2009-18. He is widely regarded as the best Shoassauan footballer in history, one of the few players to have made over 1,200 professional career appearances, and has scored over 700 official senior career goals for club and country, making him one of the top goalscorers of all time. He has been on the winning teams of several EFC Nations Leagues, some EFC Champions Leagues, and one World Cup (in 2022, where he was also named MVP). He is one of the world's most marketable and famous athletes.
