Bierhoff served as managing director of the German national team until the end of 2022 and has been without a club since.

He also has history with Hamburg, having played for the club between 1988 and 1990.

Alongside the Karlsruhe native, Ralf Rangnick, Jonas Boldt, Fabian Wohlgemuth and Sebastian Kehl are among the candidates.

Kuntz left the position suddenly after allegations of serious misconduct were made against him.
