“Made superb signings”: Matthäus also backs Kehl for HSV | OneFootball

After the surprising departure of Sebastian Kehl from Borussia Dortmund, the discussion about his future is gaining momentum. Right in the middle of it all: HSV.

For several months now, reports have been circulating that the former national player could be a serious option at Volkspark. This idea is now receiving prominent support from Lothar Matthäus.

On the show Sky90, the TV expert made it clear that he considers a move to the Hanseatic city to be sensible: “I think it would be good for both sides to take new paths.” He also pointed out the specific role Kehl could take on at HSV: “There is the possibility to work as sporting director, similar to what Lars Ricken does at Borussia Dortmund. That’s a bit of a higher position.”

Kehl to HSV? “Would be a very good transfer”

Matthäus believes the 46-year-old is highly capable and almost explicitly recommends him: “He has made excellent transfers. He has worked very successfully and very well for 24 years.” He also emphasized Kehl’s personality: “He is a very honest guy, a very likeable guy.” His clear conclusion: “I am convinced: Whoever gets Sebastian Kehl is making a very good transfer.”

Nur die Raute – All the news about HSV

Matthäus is not alone in this assessment. Jonas Boldt, former sporting director of HSV, also sees Kehl as a suitable solution for the club’s requirements. “I’m not involved in that, of course I’m following it from the outside. The communication about what is needed in a profile. And I think Sebastian Kehl fits that quite well,” he explained to Sport Bild. Especially in cooperation with HSV board member Eric Huwer, Boldt sees advantages, as both “are moving in the same direction, which is extremely important.”
