MSV Duisburg has presented Michael Preetz as the new sole managing director. The 56-year-old will take up office immediately. Preetz’s main task will not only be the athletic management, but also the leadership of the entire organization. He should help save the club from relegation from professional football. MSV is currently in 19th and penultimate place in the 3rd league. The ex-professional succeeds the outgoing managing directors Peter Mohnhaupt and Thomas Wulf.

The former striker was active for the “Zebras” from 1992 to 1994, during which time Preetz played 71 games for MSV, in which he scored 21 goals. In 1993 he celebrated promotion to the Bundesliga with the Meiderich team. After his active career, Preetz initially started as an assistant to the management at Hertha BSC before working there as managing director of sports and communications for over eleven years. Since his retirement in January 2021, Preetz has not been involved in professional football. MSV’s main sponsor “Capelli” is said to have wanted the Düsseldorf native in particular.
