Virkus and the Rhineland side will thus part ways after an impressive 35-year relationship where he filled various positions at the club.

It hasn't yet been decided who will succeed Virkus and assume responsibility for the next transfer window.

“I've always said that the club is paramount, and that's why I decided to take this step," said Virkus regarding his departure:

“We are unanimous in our committees that we want to reposition ourselves for the future of our sporting activities,” added club president Rainer Bonhof.
