TSG Hoffenheim plans upheaval: Schicker announces radical changes!

Hoffenheim, Deutschland - The TSG 1899 Hoffenheim is facing a crucial summer. Andreas Schicker, the new managing director of Sport, is planning a radical renovation of the squad, especially with regard to the coming season. According to a report by Sport Bild , discussions are held with the players as soon as the relegation is secured. The team of coach Christian Ilzer currently occupies 14th place in the Bundesliga, only six points in front of the relegation place, which increases the pressure.

among the players who could leave the club are defender Christopher Lenz and Stanley Nsoki, despite existing contracts. Conversely, the association is planning with Leo Ostigard and Ozan Kabak, who are supposed to give new impulses. Ostigard has been loaned by Stade Rennes until summer and could be firmly committed for 8 million euros. Kabak, who has been pausing since a cruciate ligament rupture, should attack again in the next preparation.

focus on a common identity

Andreas Schicker, who was only officially presented at the beginning of October, emphasizes that a clear orientation and identity for the club are essential. In an interview with TSG Hoffenheim he expressed the desire to give the TSG a clear face. The goal is to implement a successful and appealing game philosophy in the first and the young teams. Schicker wants to promote young talents and at the same time strengthen the connection to the fans to increase the number of spectators that have recently decreased.

To ensure enthusiasm again, clear communication between trainers, players and fans should be guaranteed. The long -term goal of leading Hoffenheim regularly to the European Cup pursues a chic. The sleeves are rolled up: "We have to spark fire internally and carry it outwards," said the 38-year-old. A common understanding and a strong club identity are in the foreground of his strategy.
