Advisory Board stops Magath’s candidacy as HSV President
Felix Magath is not approved as a candidate for the presidential office of Hamburger SV. As the “Hamburger Abendblatt” reports, the HSV IDOL could not convince the advisory board during its presentation.
Magath, who won the European Champion’s European Cup in 1983, had not shown enough knowledge of the statutes of HSV EV and signaled that his actual interest in the Supervisory Board was following. The advisory board then rejected its candidacy for the general meeting on June 21.
Magath had made his ambitions public in April and said: “I am the right HSV president for the next few years.” His designated vice was ex-goalkeeper Richard Golz. Magath had tried to post the sports director a year ago, but was subject to Stefan Kuntz, who led the club back to the Bundesliga. The previous President Marcell Jansen had declared not to start again.
At the promotion ceremony of Hamburger SV, Hamburg’s first mayor Peter Tschentscher thought of the late club legend Uwe Seeler. “Today Uwe Seeler would be very proud of his HSV,” said the SPD politician in the town hall. Seeler, honorary citizen of the Hanseatic city, died almost three years ago.
Today the historically only and at the same time the last promotion of the HSV, the mayor continued, “because the club will never relegate at human discretion, never again.” At the beginning of his speech, he emphasized: “The Dino is back.”
Tschenscher also emphasized the loyalty of the HSV fans and the impressive performance of the HSV women, who also made the promotion to the first Bundesliga. He praised the rapid development of the team. Read here how things went on at the promotion party.
Before the big double promotion ceremony of Hamburger SV begins, thousands of fans are already waiting at the town hall market. The police initially could not give an exact number of spectators. Numerous fans came early to get a good place. The HSV flag was raised at the town hall. There was already a jubilee when HSV cult fan “Grandma Eva”, Eva Stahl, arrived.
Almost a week after the rise of women and men to the Bundesliga, the first mayor Peter Tschenscher welcomes the promoters in the town hall. After that, the teams want to move on large trucks with music at around 6.45 p.m. and take the internal altesters once to thank the fans for their support until around 9 p.m.
