Tim Walter, the former coach of Hamburger SV, has been appointed the new head coach of Holstein Kiel, a team in Germany's 2. Bundesliga, after Marcel Rapp was dismissed just hours earlier. The club announced the decision, confirming reports from Sky, and expressed their hope that Walter will bring 'new impulses' to the team's challenging sporting situation. Walter previously coached Kiel during the 2018/19 season and has since held positions in more prominent clubs, including a stint with Hull City in the English Championship.
