Will he stay at HSV? Second-tier side chased Polzin's assistant | OneFootball

Despite the sporting crisis, HSV wants to keep its coaching staff together. That also applies to Loic Favé. And that is despite a second-division club making a strong push for Polzin’s assistant.

After the two 0-5 defeats against Mainz and RB Leipzig, the mood around HSV has hit rock bottom. However, that changes nothing about the club management’s long-term plans. The contracts of Merlin Polzin, Loic Favé, as well as assistant coaches Richard Krohn and Max Bergmann, are set to be extended until 2029.

Hannover 96 had apparently been keen to lure Favé to the Lower Saxony capital. Sporting director Jonas Boldt made an intensive effort to sign the 33-year-old, who is regarded above all as a highly skilled tactician. Boldt knows Favé extremely well: he once brought him to HSV and supported his development there. Accordingly, the relationship between the two is very close.

At 96, Favé could even take on an even bigger role. Head coach Christian Titz is on the verge of being sacked after the weak start to the season. After narrowly missing out on promotion last season, Hannover picked up only four points from their first five matches.

Favé expected to extend with HSV despite interest from 96

According to information from Bild, Boldt stepped up his efforts to sign Favé on Saturday. However, HSV reacted immediately and put a stop to the interest. The club does not want to let the coach go, but rather continue the partnership over the long term.

That fits with comments from sporting director Kathleen Krüger, who had already spoken of a basic agreement on DAZN before the 0-5 defeat to Leipzig. “We know that we will move into the future together,” she explained with regard to the entire coaching team.

Favé is therefore not the first member of Polzin’s staff whom HSV wants to keep despite other offers. Richard Krohn also had a lucrative offer from Ittihad FC in Saudi Arabia this summer. In that case as well, the Rothosen opted for continuity. Now Favé and Krohn are set to extend their contracts together with Polzin.
