Her expected hire would make her the first woman to run the sporting board in Germany’s men’s league.

Overview

  • HSV board member Eric Huwer, speaking Wednesday in a dpa video interview, said talks with Krüger continue and that he knows of no signed contract.
  • Multiple reports say the supervisory board has chosen Krüger to succeed Stefan Kuntz with a four-year deal as Sportvorstand, the board post that runs the sporting side, with an official presentation planned soon.
  • Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed Krüger told Bayern she is in talks with HSV.
  • Coverage outlines a split of duties in which Krüger would set sporting strategy while sport director Claus Costa continues to run transfers and squad planning under her.
