Manager and main sponsor Frank Müller has now completely relocated his engagement to Würzburg, the previous training location of TTG Müller Munscheid. He was followed by player-trainer fan Changmao, assistant trainer & scout Matthias Landfried and players Mikael Zöögling and Evgueni Shetinin to the new club in the 1st Bundesliga, Müller Würzburger Hofbräu .

Then the team was withdrawn to the regional league because the sponsor Müller reduced his financial commitment.
