October 30, 2020: The new man on the sidelines is in the 2020/2021 season Daniel Thioune. Under him, the HSV starts perfectly into the third two -division round in series, scoring the full 15 points from the first five games. A 2-2 draw in the home game against FC St. Pauli ended at the end of October. The team will no longer win a game by mid -December.
April 4, 2021: The second in the table leads up to the 56th minute with a three-pack from Aaron Hunt with 3-0 at Hannover 96-and the 3: 3 equalizer catches shortly before the end. There is no victory in the following four games. Thiune has to go three game days before the end. Interim coach Horst Hrubesch can no longer save the climb. For the third time in a row, the HSV is in fourth place in the 2nd Bundesliga.
April 16, 2022: Under Tim Walter, the Bundesliga return should finally succeed. The new coach ultimately leads the team through a season in which the team has never been in first place, but is a phenomenal final sprint. After a 3-0 against Karlsruhe in mid -April, the HSV will get another four victories in the last four season games. The reward: the relegation place and the chance to finally rise via the detour.
May 23, 2022: In the relegation, the HSV meets Hertha BSC. The first leg in Berlin wins Hamburg 1-0 with a goal from Ludovit Reis. So in the Volkspark you only need a draw to finally go up. But Dedryck Boyata shocks the HSV early in the second leg. Marvin Plattenhardt plunges the North Germans 2-0 once more into the valley of tears.
May 28, 2023: A year later, the HSV fans in Sandhausen are already storming the square. The 1-0 victory against SVS at that time means the direct climb. But it is still played in Regensburg in parallel. Then the shock for Hamburg: Heidenheim turns the game at Jahn through two goals in added time and pushes the HSV back onto the relegation place. Stunned with the fans in Sandhausen.
