Christian Gentner will be the new sports director at VfB Stuttgart!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - VfB Stuttgart is facing an exciting change! Christian Gentner, the former football professional and master hero, is reportedly the new sports director of the traditional association. The 39-year-old, who is to be officially promoted this week, receives a contract until 2027 and thus follows in large footsteps. The position has been vacant since July 1, after Fabian Wohlgemuth has risen to the sports director.

gentner, who celebrated the German championship with Stuttgart in 2007, was previously head of the license player department and has already made a name for himself in this role. His promotion is not surprising, because Wohlgemuth had emphasized weeks ago: "Christian and I have been working trustingly and closely together." This close cooperation could help VfB Stuttgart to set the course for a successful future.

A review of Gentner's career

The former midfielder has an impressive career. With a total of 430 Bundesliga games and 46 goals for Stuttgart, Wolfsburg and Union Berlin, he has established himself as one of the best players in his generation. His time at VfB is particularly remarkable, where he was on the pitch in 373 competitive games. After his career at FC Lucerne in Switzerland in 2023, Gentner is now returning to the roots of VfB Stuttgart in a new role. The fans can be excited to see which impulses he will set as a sports director!
