Some bonds never fade, no matter how much time passes. When Kevin Kampl suddenly walked out on stage at our season-opening event, a huge cheer erupted across the Festwiese. And 'Kevko' himself quickly realised that, in a way, he never really left.
"It's wonderful to be back. It feels like coming home," said the 35-year-old as he looked out at so many familiar faces. Kevin spent eight and a half years in an RBL shirt, making 283 competitive appearances and sharing some of the greatest moments in our club's history with the Red Bulls.
After a few months away, Kevko is now back in Leipzig. He speaks openly about a difficult period in his life, feeling refreshed again and the possibility that his next chapter could even begin back at RBL.
After leaving the club, Kevin initially took some time away and spent plenty of time with his family in Spain. After going through several difficult moments in his personal life, he needed some distance from football and the chance to switch off.
"I needed some time to slow things down a bit. It did me good to recharge and get some energy back," Kevko explained, drawing supportive applause from the fans.
