Career

In the club

Knoche began playing soccer at Germania Lamme when he was four . From 2002 to 2005 he played at the Olympia Braunschweig until he moved to the VfL Wolfsburg C youth team at the age of 13 . Knoche was used in the further course of his youth training in the B and A youth Bundesliga for the youth teams of VfL Wolfsburg.

In 2010 he was used for the first time in the amateur team of the club. A year later, Knoche made his first appearance in the professional team of VfL when coach Felix Magath used him on the third match day of the 2011/12 Bundesliga season . In April 2012 Knoche signed a professional contract until June 30, 2015, which he extended early in August 2013. He won the DFB Cup with Wolfsburg in the 2014/2015 season .

In the 2015/16 season Knoche missed the entire first half of the season due to an ankle injury and only made his first appearance on matchday 20, but from then on he was able to establish himself in the regular team of VfL Wolfsburg. He extended his contract again, now with a term until the end of the 2019/20 season. In the Bundesliga seasons 2016/17 (23 league games), 2017/18 (24 league games) and 2018/19 (31 league games) he was an important part of the Bundesliga team's central defense .

In the 2019/20 Bundesliga season , he lost his regular place twice over the course of the season : First in the first half of the season from matchday 8 against Jeffrey Bruma , but was able to get it back after Marcel Tisserand was suspended from red . After the game was interrupted for several weeks due to the Covid 19 pandemic , Marin Pongracic was given preference over Knoche. As a consequence, Knoche announced on May 31 that he would leave the club after 15 years of membership at the end of the season. He then joined 1. FC Union Berlin in August 2020 .

National team

Knoche made his debut for the German U-21 national team on September 9, 2013 in the qualifier for the U-21 European Championship 2015 against the Irish U-21 national team . He was substituted on in the 74th minute by coach Horst Hrubesch . In his second U21 game against the Faroe Islands (3-2), Knoche scored his first international goal for a DFB selection.

National coach Joachim Löw nominated him on November 16, 2014 for the friendly against Spain on November 18 in Vigo (1-0), as Jérôme Boateng was unable to play against the European champions due to muscular problems in his left calf; However, Knoche was not used. A new nomination for the national team did not take place.
