Christopher Gäng (born 10 May 1988) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[1]

Career

[edit]

He made his professional debut for Hertha in the Bundesliga on 11 November 2008 against Werder Bremen when the first goalkeeper, Jaroslav Drobný was injured. He allowed five goals in a 5–1 loss and did not play for the first team anymore until he left.[2]

For the 2013–14 season, Gäng moved to SG Sonnenhof Großaspach in the Regionalliga Südwest. In June 2016, Gäng returned to his hometown of Mannheim and signed a three-year contract with SV Waldhof Mannheim.[3] Ahead of the 2019–20 season, his contract with the club was not extended.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2013, Gäng revealed that he had suffered from gambling addiction, obesity and depression during his football career, criticising the sport as "prostitution".[2][5]
