HSV candidate Kehl: This is how ex-president Jansen sees him! | OneFootball

The surprising separation from Sebastian Kehl is sparking discussions not only at BVB. The name of the former sporting director is also being mentioned at HSV.

But does Kehl really fit HSV? A prominent supporter is now providing a clear assessment. Marcell Jansen, president of the Rothosen until June 2025, can certainly understand the move and indirectly cites arguments that could also speak in favor of a possible switch to Volkspark.

On “Doppelpass” on Sport1, he said about the separation: “I can only endorse the decision.” In particular, he believes the timing was wisely chosen: “Now is the international break, Dortmund knows that the issue in the league is settled with second place. You no longer have the risk, but you need planning security.”

Ex-HSV boss: “Kehl is quite a good fit there”

This aspect in particular could also play a central role at HSV. The club is facing crucial weeks. According to consistent media reports, the Hanseatic club wants to present a successor to sporting director Stefan Kuntz, who left in December, by May.

Jansen emphasized accordingly: “You have to make a lot of decisions in the coming weeks and months that will be important.” Therefore, a manager with a clear line and experience at the highest level would be needed.

The way the separation was handled in Dortmund also speaks in favor of the 44-year-old. Jansen praised that it apparently took place “with mutual respect.” That could be an indication of professionalism and leadership strength.

The personnel matter is also receiving further support from Jonas Boldt. The former HSV sporting director recently told Sport Bild: “I’m not involved in that, but of course I’m following it, even from the outside. The communication, what’s needed in a profile. And I think Sebastian Kehl is quite a good fit there.”
