In 2021, Kiefelschguchen was embroiled in a scandal over alleged child sex abuse, and since then he has chosen to "retire" from the game. However, two years later, the 33-year-old star is about to make a comeback and return to the green field. According to The Sun, Kiefel Schuchen has reached an agreement to join American soccer team D.C. United, led by former teammate Ronny, and is expected to complete the transfer process this week.
Two years ago, the Ewarton club confirmed that a player was being investigated in a child sex abuse case, and although the British media were banned from revealing the player's name, the Icelandic media made it clear that the suspect was none other than Kiefelshguchen. Since then, the Icelandic international disappeared into obscurity until he officially left the club last summer when his contract expired. In April this year, the British police announced that the case had been closed and that no measures would be taken against Kiefelshguchen, meaning that the midfielder would finally be able to escape from the shadows and return to the field of play.
