Hannover 96: sports director Mann currently does not want any contract talks

Sports director man

In view of the complicated sporting situation with nine games without a win, sports director Marcus Mann does not want to hold any contract talks with Hannover 96 for the time being. Apparently, this affects both additions and departures as well as possible extensions of expiring working papers. “Right now is not the right time for decisions. That’s also difficult in the current phase,” said Mann von der “Picture” quoted. After 25 of 34 match days, 96 is tenth, but coach Stefan Leitl is not up for debate.

Including loan players, eight professionals are only tied with Lower Saxony until the summer, including Hendrik Weydandt (27), Jannik Dehm (26) and Sebastian Kerk (28). Concrete negotiations about salaries are currently not planned, but there should be at least an initial exchange about a possible continuation of the cooperation. “I’ll talk to the players. Because it was agreed that way,” Mann clarified. According to reports, these talks will initially be held without player advisors.

For example, Holstein Kiel’s central defender Hauke ​​Wahl, who announced his departure from the “Storks” because he would like to take on a new challenge, could come for the new season. According to “Bild”, the 28-year-old has aroused interest in the MLS clubs Nashville SC and Toronto FC as well as FC St. Pauli, Hannover 96 and 1. FC Nürnberg. “With us, nobody stands in front of a signature,” commented sports director Mann on the rumor.
