Overview
- TSG 1899 Hoffenheim said it extended sporting managing director Andreas Schicker’s contract and appointed Daniel Förderer as a second managing director.
- Förderer will run the club’s commercial side, including marketing, sales and digital, after serving as an external consultant since February.
- Majority shareholder Dietmar Hopp praised Schicker’s work and said the extension guarantees stability after a turbulent stretch of internal politics.
- On the field, Hoffenheim has locked up a European berth for next season and still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League with two league games left.
- The club cites about €90 million in added squad market value since Schicker arrived in October 2024 as evidence of progress.
