🇩🇪 Bundesliga milestone: Krüger, HSV’s first female sporting director | OneFootball

Hamburger SV has marked a before and after in the history of German football. The club of the "red shorts" has officially appointed Kathleen Krüger as its new sporting director.

This move is not only a strategic signing, but also a milestone, as she becomes the first woman to take on this top-level position of responsibility in the Bundesliga elite.

Krüger arrives at the Dinosaur to fill the vacancy left by Stefan Kuntz, who resigned at the beginning of the year. The club’s confidence in her abilities is absolute, as shown by a long-term contract that ties her to the Hanseatic club until 2030. 

At 40, Kathleen boasts an enviable career. For 17 years, she was part of the FC Bayern Munich structure, where she served as team manager and, more recently, as Head of Organization and Infrastructure.
