Despite a historic false start: HSV extend with Polzin! | OneFootball

Three games, no points, goals 0:12 – HSV have never had such a poor start to a Bundesliga season. Nevertheless, those in charge are sticking to the course they have chosen.

What had already been indicated for several days is now official: Despite the poor start, head coach Merlin Polzin has extended his contract early until 2029. The same applies to his assistants Loic Fave, Richard Krohn and Max Bergmann. The coaching team that led HSV to promotion in 2025 and then comfortably secured survival in the league continues to enjoy the club’s trust.

“We are aware of the current sporting situation,” explained sporting director Kathleen Krüger, who first took a comprehensive look at the coaches’ work after arriving from FC Bayern. “They impress with their expertise, their meticulousness, their hard work and their day-to-day passion,” said the 41-year-old, who nevertheless made it clear: “Trust does not mean that results become secondary, but is based on critical evaluation.” But that is precisely why the contracts were extended “with full conviction.”
