Club legend stays at HSV! | OneFootball

The HSV women apparently intend to keep relying on a true club legend. Final clarity could come very soon.

According to information from Mopo, those in charge and Rodolfo Cardoso are in agreement about continuing their collaboration. The 57-year-old is set to remain head coach of the Bundesliga team next season.

Although the final signatures are still missing, the matter is considered all but decided. Unless something completely unexpected happens, Cardoso will also welcome the HSV women onto the training pitch for the start of preseason next Wednesday and begin the mission of avoiding relegation with them.

Cardoso is thus continuing a remarkable success story. Only this spring, the Argentine took over the team at short notice following the split with Liése Brançao. In the final four matches of the season, he led the HSV women to the hoped-for survival in the league, strongly recommending himself for a permanent role.

HSV Women step up squad planning

Even so, at first there was little to suggest he would stay on. Over the course of several weeks, HSV officials examined various options and at times specifically looked for a female coach. Among those mentioned as a possible candidate was former Germany international Kim Kulig. In the end, however, the choice fell on Cardoso, who has shaped the club for decades and has already held numerous roles at the Volkspark.

HSV are not only relying on continuity in the head coach position. According to the report, assistant coach Eren Sen and fitness coach Felix Kleist are also close to extending their contracts. There will, however, be a change in the goalkeeping coach position: Sascha Kirschstein is leaving the women’s team and will take on duties at the youth academy in the future.

Cardoso will also be able to welcome several new signings at the start of training. Right-back Sylwia Matysik from 1. FC Köln, Czech international striker Andrea Svibkova from Linzer ASK, and midfielder Leila Peneau from St. Pölten have already been announced as reinforcements. More arrivals could follow soon.
