Completely bonkers HSV rumour: Beiersdorfer back as sporting chief? | OneFootball

Since the turn of the year, HSV have been without a board member for sport. At the time, the club parted ways with Stefan Kuntz.

There has been no shortage of rumors in recent months about possible successors. Sebastian Kehl was long considered the favorite. According to current media reports, however, the former sporting director of Borussia Dortmund is in a promising position for a role at Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, who are battling relegation.

Before the top match against TSG Hoffenheim, Sky has now revealed another name that could be on HSV’s shortlist. “We’ve heard from committee circles that Dietmar Beiersdorfer is said to be an option,” presenter Sebastian Hellmann explained in a pre-game conversation with Claus Costa (via Hamburger Abendblatt).

Is Beiersdorfer returning to HSV for a fourth spell?

The 62-year-old made 174 Bundesliga appearances for the Rothosen as a player. Between 2002 and 2009, and again between 2014 and 2016, Beiersdorfer also served as board member for sport and later CEO. For the former center-back, who is currently managing director of third-division side FC Ingolstadt, it would therefore be his fourth stint at the Volkspark.

But will it really happen? Costa, in any case, did not want to reveal any further information. “That’s not within my remit,” he said, pointing to the Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim that was about to kick off. So when it comes to their club’s search for a new boss, HSV fans are still very much in the dark.
