In the dispute over the occupation of the vacant managing director post at Hannover 96, the shareholders around the long-time club boss Martin Kind submitted an application to the district court of Hanover. This was confirmed by a spokesman for the district court. The background is that the second division club must submit its license application for the coming season at the German Football League (DFL).
According to the DFL license code, the “written application by the applicant’s authorized application” must be signed. Unlike a managing director, a authorized representative like the current sports director Marcus Mann, who recently described the state as “unbearable”, does not meet this in a corporation like Hannover 96 GmbH & Co. KGAA.
The big problem is also the ongoing dispute between the mother club and the outsourced professional football society. Since the dismissal of the long -time managing director and majority shareholder child, both sides have not yet been able to agree on the appeal from one or two new managing directors in the past eight months.
Due to the situation last weekend before the game in Nuremberg (2-1), Mann openly threatened with one departure. “I’ve been participating long enough now, but at some point the time is also when you no longer participate,” said the 40-year-old at “Sky”, who is traded as a candidate for sports league at the second division competitor Karlsruher SC.
Child showed understanding for the statement by the sports director. “Marcus man does a good job, is hardworking and serious. We want successful professional football, that’s why he stands. Mr. Mann stands for Hannover 96, ”said the 80-year-old of the “Bild” newspaper. “I very much hope that Marcus is staying. If he goes, that would be a disaster. Then the entire construction work would have to start again, that would be irresponsible. ”
