About the player
Leonardo Bittencourt grew up in Leipzig and came through the Energie Cottbus academy, making his professional bow for the club in the 2. Bundesliga before Borussia Dortmund signed him in 2012. In Dortmund colours he added a DFB-Pokal winner's medal that season, though his involvement was limited to a single cup appearance. From there his career became a tour of the Bundesliga's middle tier: Hannover 96 took him on in 2013, 1. FC Köln in 2015, and Hoffenheim in 2018.
It was at Werder Bremen where he settled longest. A loan spell in 2019 was made permanent the following year, wearing the number 10 shirt. In March 2026 he reached a personal landmark, making his 300th Bundesliga appearance. That summer he moved back to where it all began, returning to Energie Cottbus on a free transfer and switching to the number 32 shirt.
Bittencourt worked his way through every age group of the German youth setup, from the under-17s to the under-21s, and was part of the side that reached the semi-finals of the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. A senior call-up never followed.
