Overview
- Krüger formally began her role and was presented to the media Wednesday, after already working informally for about a week to meet staff and review the club’s structures.
- She will set strategic sporting priorities while Sportdirektor Claus Costa retains operational control of day-to-day squad planning and transfer negotiations.
- On the future of loanee Fábio Vieira Krüger said HSV will seek a creative solution with Arsenal but that the current asking price is unaffordable for the club.
- Krüger declined to set a deadline for head coach Merlin Polzin’s contract decision and will use the upcoming training camps to assess alignment before committing.
- She is bringing trusted administrative support from her Bayern network, has already secured a one-year extension for women’s prospect Lotta Wrede, and aims to build long-term development across men’s, women’s and youth teams while keeping financial realism front of mind.
