Melih Taha Begen is the latest addition to SV Eintracht Mendig's rebuilt first-team squad. The 29-year-old is expected to strengthen the left side of the defence and add another composed option for the build-up phase.
The profile is a useful one for head coach Damir Mrkalj: Begen combines duel strength with a calm first pass, giving the team more security in possession and more resilience in defensive one-on-one situations.
Experience for the restart
Begen's football education includes time at TuS Koblenz, SG Mülheim-Kärlich and SG 99 Andernach. In senior football he has played across the Rheinlandliga and Bezirksliga, including spells with SG 99 Andernach, Ata Urmitz, TuS Oberwinter and most recently TuS Mayen.
Experience on the left, more stability in possession, and another strong defensive duel player for the Bezirksliga. Club summary based on BLICK aktuell reporting
A clearer squad picture
Alongside Begen, Mendig have also added players such as Timm Liss and Dejan Mijackovic. The common thread is clear: more flexibility, more pace, and enough experience to make the step into the Bezirksliga Mitte feel controlled rather than improvised.
