TSG Hoffenheim can continue to rely on the work of Andreas Schicker in the future. The managing director, who has been primarily associated with VfL Wolfsburg in recent days, will not be leaving the club. This emerges from a press release on Saturday evening.
“I am honored by the interest shown by other clubs – and at the same time it is a great confirmation of the work we do here in Kraichgau,” explained Schicker. “But the TSG shareholders have shown me a clear perspective of being able to continue working successfully here. We deliberately reassembled the team in the summer. Now it is important that we can work in peace. Together with the team, the coaching team and the entire staff, I will do everything to achieve our ambitious goals. I am happy about this development, but we are not finished here yet. We have been unbeaten in six games and I hope that football topics will be discussed again in the future Being at the forefront of this great club is my full focus.”
TSG coach Christian Ilzer made statements during the game against FSV Mainz 05 on Friday evening that indicated Schicker’s possible departure. With Sturm Graz, the duo became Austrian champions and cup winners twice. Ilzer started at TSG in November last year and initially struggled. As table 15. but held the class in 1899. This season, after there was a lot of movement in the team, things are going better and we are currently in sixth place.
TSG shareholder Dietmar Hopp said about Schicker’s whereabouts: “The interest that has become known from various clubs speaks for the qualities of Andreas Schicker. But together we are very happy that we can continue the successful work with this new line-up at the top of the club. Under his leadership, our team has found its way back to the ‘TSG DNA’ in terms of sport, the team is younger, their football has become more attractive and more successful. We hope that Andreas Schicker will continue on this path for a long time plays a leading role in shaping it.”
At league rivals Wolfsburg, the position of sports director needs to be filled. The VW club initially parted ways with Dutch coach Paul Simonis and shortly afterwards with sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz. Sports director Peter Christiansen is also the focus of criticism and is held responsible, among other things, for the undesirable sporting development.
