Why Sterner is now happy – Dynamo Dresden secures the right‑back

Dynamo Dresden has permanently signed Jonas Sterner (24) after two loan spells. The right‑back stresses that he finally found a stable home. Dynamo Dresden currently sits 11th in the 2. Bundesliga with 41 points, 11 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses and is 29 points behind leaders FC Schalke 04.

What does the return mean for the squad?

Sterner says the constant moves over the past two years wore him down. He spent the 2024/25 promotion season on loan at Holstein Kiel and the second half of the previous 2. Bundesliga campaign at Hannover 96. Now, with a permanent deal, he feels “finally settled”. This stability strengthens the team spirit, allowing players to work together longer without frequent roster changes.

How does this affect the current season?

Dynamo Dresden has recorded four wins and one loss (WWWWL) in its last five matches, including a 2‑1 victory over Holstein Kiel on 17 May 2026. The attack has already scored 54 goals while the defence has conceded 53, a slim +1 goal difference. Sterner’s offensive‑defensive skill set should help shore up the back line and boost the scoring rate.

What are Sterner’s plans off the pitch?

The player found a new flat a bit outside Dresden, preferring to return to his roots from the small coastal village of Husum. He hopes to fish occasionally nearby. In his first days back, he shared a hotel room with other newcomers, where they played “Lattenschießen” to bond. This relaxed vibe, Sterner believes, will raise motivation for the upcoming home fixture against Union Berlin on 1 August 2026.

What’s next for Dynamo Dresden?

With Sterner’s permanent signing and a four‑game winning streak, Dynamo Dresden looks optimistic heading into the second half of the season. The coach hopes the blend of defensive solidity and attacking punch will push the club toward the promotion race. Sterner aims to enjoy his new home while giving every training session his full energy.
