Neuhaus scored six league goals and collected three assists for Friedhelm Funkel’s Düsseldorf that year. Famously, Neuhaus scored the opening goal and assisted on the dramatic match-winner against Dynamo Dresden on the final matchday of the season. Neuhaus served as Düsseldorf’s “promotion hero” in the 1-2 away win.
Düsseldorf have been working in the German second division since getting relegated at the end of the 2019/20 campaign. The famed Westphalian “punk rock club” have managed to remain in the promotion hunt over the last five seasons, most famously missing out in the promotion-relegation playoffs against Bochum at the end of the 2023/24 cycle.
“It’s true that we knocked on their [Gladbach’s] door last year,” Allofs told the Rheinische Post. “It would be silly not to do so, because Flo is someone who has already been at Fortuna. .If there is an opportunity to sign him, you shouldn’t miss out on at least looking into it. We do that from time to time.
“The latest speculation still has a lot to do with what’s happened recently,” Allofs nevertheless emphasized. “As long as there’s been no final decision about his situation, we’ll keep this option open as a ‘desirable solution.‘”
