After the players’ allegations of violence against Andre Fuhr, the chairman of Borussia Dortmund’s handball department took action. Andreas Heiermann resigns with immediate effect.
“Of course, the most recent events surrounding the first BVB women’s handball team have also kept me busy. After careful consideration, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’d prefer to withdraw from this voluntary position, which I had long been considering for 2024 for personal, private reasons.” , said Heyerman. He wanted to make his “contribution to the restructuring and further professionalization of the handball department, which in my opinion has already become necessary at this point in time”.
Appreciation for Heiermanns
BVB President Dr. Reinhard Rauball accepted the resignation and praised Heiermann’s achievements in terms of the economic and sporting development of the club. Some players had publicly raised massive allegations against ex-coach Andre Fuhr, who was released in September and replaced by Henk Groener. The German Handball Federation is also affected by the events.
