Advisor met with Boldt
“Stephan is a very ambitious player who, thanks to this loan and as many appearances as possible in the 2nd division, can work his way back up to his personal top level,” said Hamburger SV’s press release in the summer when Stephan Ambrosius was loaned out was announced to Karlsruher SC. The central defender received the desired playing time from the league competitor in the first half of the season and recorded his first increase in market value since the beginning of 2021 during the interim update in September. A future in the Hanseatic city is nevertheless unlikely.
A report of the “pictureAccording to the 23-year-old, he sees no prospects at HSV as long as Tim Walter is on the bench. The 47-year-old relies on a central defender with good structure-up play in the back – not Ambrosius’ greatest strength. The right foot is more defined by robust duel leadership, which comes into its own at KSC in Christian Eichner’s system. Until his thigh injury in November, he started all twelve competitive games.
Walter’s contract with HSV expires in the summer, but an extension to 2024 is reportedly pending. Under the former Stuttgart and Kiel coach, Ambrosius had a difficult time last season when he fought his way back into the squad after tearing a cruciate ligament, but waited in vain for an assignment.
In order to avoid a similar situation next season, the players and club are already working on a solution for the coming summer. According to the report, Ambrosius’ advisor Nochi Hamasor met with HSV sports director Jonas Boldt in the past few days to discuss the future of the former U21 international. The contract on the Elbe is valid until 2024.
