HSV extend deal with transfer guru: “Key figure in our development” | OneFootball

Even off the pitch, HSV is committed to continuity: Sebastian Dirscherl remains the head of the scouting department and has extended his contract with the promoted team.

The club spoke on Tuesday of an "important milestone for the future," without mentioning details about the contract's duration. Following their return to the Bundesliga and a profound squad overhaul, HSV is currently on course to maintain their league status. This process has been significantly supported by the work behind the scenes. Since April 2023, Dirscherl has been responsible for the entire scouting structure and has played a central role in rebuilding the team.

HSV board member Eric Huwer explicitly praised the 39-year-old's work: "We are very pleased to continue to fill this key position with high quality and continuity. Seba has significantly shaped our sporting development together with the scouting department in recent years. He and his team have continually developed. We want to continue this path together."

HSV relies on the well-established duo Costa/Dirscherl

Sports director Claus Costa also emphasized the importance of the collaboration. There has been close communication between the two for years. Costa stressed: "Seba possesses enormous expertise and has excellent market knowledge. In his role, he is responsible for live, video, and data scouting and has also developed a good sense for the personalities of potential new signings." Numerous transfers have been "prepared with meticulousness and creativity," enabling the Bundesliga squad to be made competitive in a short time.
