Krüger gets started at HSV: these issues are in focus! | OneFootball

Even before her contract officially begins, Kathleen Krüger is already tackling HSV’s first problem areas. There is a lot to do.

That is why the future board member for sport paid her first detailed working visit to the Volkspark on Tuesday, where she gained an overview of the most urgent issues. This was reported by Bild.

The main focus was on the squad planning for the men’s team, the future of the women’s department, and the strategic direction of the youth academy. Among others, Krüger met with sporting director Claus Costa, chief scout Sebastian Dirscherl, CFO Eric Huwer, and academy director Christoph Rohmer. For the 41-year-old, the first step was to get to know the key people involved. At the same time, initial operational decisions were also prepared right away.

There is an especially urgent need for action when it comes to the HSV women’s team. After only just securing survival, it now needs to be clarified quickly who will take over from interim coach Rodolfo Cardoso in the future. In an Magenta interview a few days ago, Huwer expressed the wish to appoint a female head coach if possible. Relevant talks are said to have already begun, and Krüger is now becoming more deeply involved in the process.

In addition, HSV still need to address several problem positions in the squad. They are looking for reinforcements out wide, a successor for Luka Vuskovic, and additional options up front, among other things. The futures of loan players Fábio Vieira and Albert Grønbaek also remain unresolved.

Despite the tightly packed schedule, the visit also served as an opportunity for internal introductions. Before her appointment, Krüger had mainly been in contact with HSV’s supervisory board members. Up to now, she had communicated with her future fellow board members mostly by phone. Officially, Krüger starts on July 1. But she is expected to fully begin her work at HSV by the end of June.
