Overview
- Elversberg, a German second-division club, appointed 36-year-old Josef Welzmüller as Technical Director on Tuesday to lead long-term sporting development.
- The Technical Director will set the playing style and run player and coach development, while a forthcoming Sporting Director will manage transfers and daily squad decisions.
- Club president Dominik Holzer called the new role a central piece for keeping a clear method and a shared way of playing across all teams.
- Sky reported Christian Weber, who worked at Fortuna Düsseldorf until December 2025, as the preferred choice for Sporting Director, but the club has not announced a hire.
- The restructure follows Ole Book’s late-March move to become Borussia Dortmund’s sporting chief, which prompted Elversberg to formalize a two-person sporting leadership.
