Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
Goal scorer Davie Selke would be ready to do without up to a million euros in an annual salary in order to continue to play for HSV. According to the “Bild” newspaper, a Bundesliga club has already registered concrete interest and offers the 30-year-old an annual salary of “well over 2 million euros”. Selke’s contract expires in summer, but would extend itself by one year if it is ascent.
The affection of the HSV fans seems to be particularly impressed by the striker, who leads the 2nd league goal scorer list with 17 goals. He and his family feel very comfortable in Hamburg, so that he would agree to a new three -year contract with an annual salary of 1.8 million euros (currently 1.2 million) in the event of ascent.
Head coach Merlin Polzin also spoke out for a whereabouts: “Of course I hope that there is an agreement in a timely and as soon as possible.” He emphasized the enormous importance of the striker both on and next to the square and expects Selke to be back in the league leader after his past yellow lock against Elversberg.
Hamburger SV and women’s coach Marwin Bolz will go separate paths from summer. Just three days after the dramatic DFB Cup semi-final against Werder Bremen (1: 3 NV), the second division announced that the expiring contract of the 27-year-old coach was not extended. Despite the separation, Bolz will continue to look after the team in the remaining seven season games and try to realize the promotion with the current fourth table.
“After careful consideration, I think it makes sense for both my personal and the further development of the team to make space for new impulses in summer,” said Bolz, for whom the past four years at HSV have been an “incredibly formative time”. Saskia Breuer, coordinator of women’s football, also confirmed that the decision to separate was made together: “Marwin has conducted our second division team very well in his young age and further developed with great commitment and specialist knowledge.”
Particularly bitter: The separation takes place shortly after the highlight of the season, when the HSV women in front of the sensational record scenery of 57,000 spectators in the sold-out folk park stadium were allowed to dream of moving into the cup final. It was only in the extension that the team had to surrender to the North Rival Werder Bremen.
Hamburger SV will soon be a special jersey. The special jersey is used in the second division away game against the 1st FC Nürnberg on April 5. The women will even wear the jersey against Borussia Mönchengladbach on March 30th.
With the newly designed shirt, the HSV sets a sign of equality, diversity and empowerment with the child rights organization Plan International and its sleeve partner Helm AG. According to the club, eight girls between the ages of 11 and 15 have designed the jersey during a workshop for the World Girls Day in October 2024.
The proceeds from the sale of the jersey are to be used to promote girls and young women and go directly to the child rights organization. “This jersey is more than a piece of fabric – it tells stories and makes the dreams of the girls from Hamburg and the whole world visible, also on the square,” writes the club.
