HSV chief on Krüger rumours: ‘Signs are mounting’ | OneFootball

Will Kathleen Krüger soon take over as the new board member for sport at HSV? According to media reports, that is considered almost a done deal.

There has not yet been any concrete confirmation, but the signs are increasingly mounting. Christoph Freund, sporting director of Krüger’s employer FC Bayern, confirmed on Friday that there have already been direct talks between the 40-year-old and the Rothosen.

Before the away match at Eintracht Frankfurt, HSV sporting director Claus Costa also commented on the ongoing speculation. “That is not my decision, and I can’t make a final judgment on it either. I can only say that I know Kathleen, I appreciate Kathleen, and there have been many candidates in recent weeks who were discussed in the media,” Costa explained in an interview with Sky. Together with Krüger, the 41-year-old completed the DFB’s management course between 2021 and 2023.

HSV: Is Costa’s role changing as well?

Nevertheless, Costa pointed to the responsibility of other bodies. “I have always said the same thing: it is not my area of responsibility, and accordingly we’ll just have to wait and see,” he continued. The final decision lies with the supervisory board, which is why he deliberately did not want to commit himself. Still, he hinted at the direction the personnel matter could be taking: “The signs are becoming clearer, but there is nothing to confirm — especially not from my side, of course.”

Costa also did not comment specifically on possible effects on his own role. “I can answer that question once we have something, once the club, once the supervisory board has made a decision, once the club has announced something. Until then, these are speculations, and we certainly won’t be assigning responsibilities before a decision has been made.”
