Report: Krüger played a part in HSV’s first sacking! | OneFootball

Kathleen Krüger has not even officially started her new role at HSV yet. Behind the scenes, however, she already seems to be helping set the course.

This now apparently is also reflected in the latest personnel decision involving the HSV women’s team. On Friday, the club announced its separation from Saskia Breuer. Publicly, the departure was communicated by CFO Eric Huwer and Christoph Rohmer.

According to a Mopo report, however, Krüger was also heavily involved in the decision-making process. Officially, though, the new board member for sport will not take office until July 1.

According to the report, the 41-year-old was already in Hamburg this week for several meetings. At the Volkspark, she is said to have met with numerous officials in a tightly scheduled series of talks. Shortly afterward, the separation from Breuer was also announced.

Krüger looking for coach for HSV women’s team

That Krüger is already deeply involved in the day-to-day work is hardly surprising, however. For weeks, she is said to have been in close contact with the key decision-makers and regularly updated on current developments. There have also reportedly already been talks with head coach Merlin Polzin.

There is a lot of work waiting for Krüger immediately, especially in the women’s department. After only just securing survival, HSV is facing a personnel restart. In addition to finding Breuer’s successor, the coaching question also has to be resolved. Interim coach Rodolfo Cardoso said goodbye after the end of the season.

The new board member for sport is likely to take on a central role in that search. Although Krüger will not be permanently present in Hamburg until the end of June after a family vacation, she already seems to be influencing strategic decisions. The separation from Breuer may therefore have been only the beginning. Krüger’s upcoming start in office marks the beginning of a new phase at HSV.
