Overview
- The supervisory board says the current two-director setup is working well as it assesses whether a third executive is necessary.
- A decision is expected by the summer break, with any new hire starting at the earliest in the autumn.
- Strategic considerations focus on running the fully repurchased fanshop and evaluating marketing options while the Sportfive deal runs until 2027.
- Commercial chief Stephan Zimmermann has absorbed most of David Fischer’s former portfolio, and Fischer is contesting his dismissal in ongoing legal proceedings.
- An alternative to adding a third executive is appointing a head of the club office reporting to current management, with oversight strengthened by the experience of board member Michael Born.
