New job for Walter? Ex-HSV coach set for move to Poland! | OneFootball

Tim Walter could soon take on a new role. The former HSV coach is being discussed in the Polish Ekstraklasa.

About ten months after his departure in England, Tim Walter could soon be back on the coaching bench. According to reports from Poland, confirmed by the Hamburger Abendblatt, the former HSV coach is a hot candidate for the vacant position at Polish first division club Pogon Szczecin.

The Ekstraklasa club parted ways with Robert Kolendowicz just this week, who had to leave after over ten years in various roles. Pogon started the season with ten points from eight games and currently ranks ninth. Last season, the team narrowly missed qualifying for the UEFA Conference League, so their own expectations are clearly higher.

Does a companion lure Walter to Poland?

For Walter, a commitment in Szczecin would be the fifth station of his professional coaching career. After his jobs at Holstein Kiel, VfB Stuttgart, HSV and most recently Hull City, the 49-year-old could be drawn to Poland.

His tenure in England ended in November 2024 after just 18 games. With a disappointing average of 0.83 points, Walter had to leave prematurely. Ultimately, the club only managed to stay in the league due to a better goal difference.

Interestingly, the managing director in Szczecin is Tan Kesler, who once lured Walter to Hull. This connection could pay off again and pave the way for the German coach into the Polish league. Nothing is officially confirmed yet, but Walter is said to be among the top candidates to succeed Kolendowicz.

It may soon become clear whether Walter's dominant possession football can work in a comparatively smaller league. This style of play is still very popular among many HSV fans.
