Kehl, Bierhoff, Rangnick: fresh details on HSV’s search for a new boss | OneFootball

The search for a new strong man at HSV is slowly gaining momentum. The supervisory board is reviewing several candidates to succeed Kuntz.

As reported on Tuesday evening by a Sky report, HSV's supervisory board is considering Sebastian Kehl. This information has also been confirmed by Mopo. The BVB sporting director is under contract in Dortmund until 2027, but his future is considered open. The supervisory board is currently reviewing various profiles and is taking its time deliberately. There is no immediate pressure to act, and a start for the new sports director in the summer is considered realistic.

The name Kehl is not new in Hamburg. As early as May 2024, during the second division, the former national player was considered by HSV. A move was not an option at that time. However, with the Rothosen's return to the Bundesliga, the situation has changed, and the currently vacant job has gained attractiveness.

Two other prominent names considered at HSV

Additionally, there is a complicated situation in Dortmund. Kehl had hoped to be promoted to sports director at the beginning of 2024 but lost out in the internal power structure to Lars Ricken. His role between Ricken and BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke is said to have increasingly burdened him. Nevertheless, a clean, amicable departure would be important for the true Borussia.

For HSV, Kehl's experience at the highest level could be interesting. He knows the Bundesliga, is well-connected internationally, and has overseen numerous transfers involving substantial sums.

But besides Kehl, other notable options are circulating. According to Mopo, Austria's national coach Ralf Rangnick is reportedly open to talks and is currently discussing his future with the ÖFB after the 2026 World Cup. Former DFB manager Oliver Bierhoff is also still considered a candidate. Moreover, the Euro 1996 hero apparently has a strong interest in a role at Volkspark!
