Approach from Hannover? HSV coach speaks about job offer | OneFootball

Before Wagner’s appointment, rumors persistently circulated that HSV assistant coach Loic Favé was a top candidate at 96. After extending his contract with HSV, he has now revealed what was true about the speculation.

It had been an eventful week for him and, of course, for the entire coaching staff at HSV. After the morning training session in Hamburg on Monday, assistant coach Loic Favé admitted: “Quite a lot happened last week.”

That includes, for example, the contract extension with the entire coaching staff, which was not viewed with enthusiasm by everyone from the outside. “But I’m glad we’ve extended now. And then there was the win against Cologne, where a lot was resolved,” Favé told the Hamburger Abendblatt.

Also worth mentioning, of course, is Hannover 96’s interest in him. After HSV’s 0–5 defeat against Leipzig, there was apparently an inquiry from Hanover, but HSV itself is said to have quickly shut it down. Lower Saxony club had dismissed head coach Christian Titz last week and, while searching for a successor, apparently also came across Polzin’s assistant.

Jonas Boldt, formerly at HSV and now sporting director in Hanover, is said to have asked whether Favé could imagine succeeding the suspended Titz. Favé himself said: “You’re always pleased when your work is noticed and appreciated. It’s nice when others believe you’re capable of something too.”

HSV coach attracts interest

As Abendblatt reports, this was not the first inquiry HSV had turned away concerning the young coach. Last season, Borussia Dortmund had also taken notice of his development and included him in the pool of candidates for a possible future U21 coaching role.

At the moment, though, none of that is an issue. After all, Favé extended his contract together with Merlin Polzin and the rest of the coaching staff until 2029.

Favé himself seems quite happy with that — even if, unlike in a possible role at Hannover 96, he is not in the top job in Hamburg. “We have a very cool coaching staff,” the coach said in the interview with Abendblatt. After the eventful week, he can now finally take a deep breath and, despite all the commotion, is “happy.”

And all HSV fans are likely pleased as well that the club did not lose the talented assistant coach to a rival.
