After leaving Hertha BSC: Fredi Bobic resigns from the DFL

Quote from DaLuz

Quote from Namoor

Appointment/dismissal of board members is not an intervention in the operative business, at least not according to the definition of the German Stock Corporation Act and the German Corporate Governance Code. The supervisory board is not authorized to issue instructions to the board of directors and may not be assigned any tasks of the board of directors (and therefore may not assume them of its own accord).

Yes, that’s the theory. But you can imagine for yourself that in practice replacing the board is at least an indirect intervention. Hops did not agree with her orientation and long-term strategy of the operative business, so she had to go.

But well, Bobic has now resigned and he is not yet with the DFB. So it doesn’t matter anywhere.

Sure, but it’s really just about the theory. In practice, it’s all pretty crap anyway what’s going on between the DFB and DFL smile

Quote from Solvencher

What is the difference between DFL and DFB, so what exactly do the associations do?

The DFB is the umbrella organization of the football associations, of which the clubs are members. Down to district level.

DFL (GmbH) is a 100% subsidiary of DFL (eV), which markets the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. Members are the clubs of these two leagues. In principle, this is a community of interests. Both the clubs as individual entities and the DFL as a whole are members of the DFB. The Bundesliga is organized jointly by both, the exact modalities are regulated in a basic contract. The latter can be viewed on the DFB website if you are interested in the details.
