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”.
Will an old acquaintance soon return to German professional football? Schalke 04 should deal with Tim Walter, reports the “Bild”. The name of the 49-year-old has been “repeatedly” appearing for weeks. Most recently, Tim Walter (2021 to 2024 at HSV) was coach of the English second division club Hull City from July to November 2024.
The competition for Schalke is large according to “BILD”: Markus Beginning (especially fired in Kaiserslautern), Raúl (trains Real Madrids B team), Lukas Kwasniok (SC Paderborn) and Florian Kohfeldt (Darmstadt 98) should be in the race for Kees van Wonderen. Domenico Tedesco, most recently national coach Belgium, and Roger Schmidt (Zutzet Benfica) are said to have already canceled.
Before the home game against Karlsruher SC (Sunday, 1.30 p.m.), HSV investor Klaus-Michael Kühne (87) spoke out. After the recent recent performance in the “Bild” newspaper “, the Swiss Switzerland is carefully optimistic”: “I still believe in the ascent, but it will be a tremor.”
The billionaire Traue sports director Stefan Kuntz “a good job”. According to Kuehne, coach Merlin Polzin has to “prove”. Kühne did not rule out a new financial injection – but he wanted to “wait and see what was going to come to the HSV”. He could “well imagine” a possible presidency of Felix Magath.
Can the HSV still rely on Miro Muheim in the season finale? The left -back has been missing for two weeks because of a muscle fiber tear. Coach Merlin Polzin is optimistic: “With Miro Muheim we hope that he will be partially integrated into the team next week,” he said in a media round on Tuesday. At best, the Swiss could already celebrate its comeback at the away game in Darmstadt (May 3). He is still training individually.
In addition, another injured left -back makes surprisingly quick progress: “Nicolas Oliveira, in consultation with the medical department and did a little faster in consultation with the medical department than would normally have been the case,” said Merlin Polzin. Oliveira has been training with the team again since Tuesday. He could be an alternative for the home game against Karlsruher SC on Sunday.
As of summer, Liése Brancão will take over the head coaches in the HSV women. The 43-year-old brings plenty of experience and title and follows Marwin Bolz, with whom the association has agreed mutually to separate at the end of the season.
“I am very much looking forward to the task in Hamburg and can’t wait to get started. There is a lot of potential in the team that we want to continue developing together from summer,” said Brancão in a message from the association.
The Brancão from Novo Hamburgo was active as a player in Brazil before she ran for the USV Neulengbach in Austria between 2004 and 2012. This was followed by stations at Ferroviária Futebol S/A in her home country and at the USC Landhaus Vienna, where she switched to the sidelines as an assistant in 2014. A year later she took over the position of head coach.
In 2016 Brancão moved to SKN St. Pölten. There she shaped an extremely successful era in the following years: seven championship titles, seven cup wins and three group phase participants followed in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. She is currently completing training as a UEFA-Pro license.
“Liése has impressively showed in recent years that she can develop teams sustainably,” emphasized Saskia Breuer, coordinator of women’s football at HSV. “Your professional competence, your clear game idea and her authentic, open manner convinced us in exchange. Liése fits our way – we look forward to working.”
Brancão receives support from a proven team: assistant coach Eren Şen and goalkeeper coach Sascha Kirschstein will remain with the HSV.
