TSG Hoffenheim: Sports Managing Director Remains in Office
Andreas Schicker has retained his position as sports managing director of TSG Hoffenheim despite recent internal disputes and speculation.
Andreas Schicker will continue as the sports managing director of TSG Hoffenheim, as confirmed by the Bundesliga club after a board meeting on Monday evening. This decision comes despite recent internal conflicts and questions regarding his leadership. Christoph Henssler, the interim president who had pushed for Schicker's dismissal, has now announced his resignation, showing a significant shift within the club's hierarchy.
Henssler, known for his past as a dedicated fan of TSG, took over the position after JΓΆrg Albrecht withdrew due to health issues last November. His departure from the role of interim president comes at a critical time for the club as it seeks stability amidst ongoing challenges. Frank Engelhardt, the clubβs third chairman, expressed unanimous support within the board for retaining Schicker, emphasizing the need for a steady leadership as they navigate the complexities of the club's governance.
The planned shareholders' meeting that was supposed to occur on Monday was canceled, illustrating the turbulent environment within the organization. Engelhardt and former president Albrecht are expected to jointly oversee the club in the coming weeks to ensure legal capability during this transitional phase. As TSG Hoffenheim prepares for upcoming matches, the focus is now on maintaining team performance and organizational unity amid this leadership shake-up.
