Decision Announcement: HSV Declares Crucial Step for its Future Course
Hamburger SV Extends Coaching Team's Contracts
Hamburger SV (HSV) has announced the extension of the contracts for head coach Merlin Polzin and his assistants, Loic Favé and Richard Krohn. This decision reflects the club's confidence in the coaching team's leadership for the current Bundesliga campaign and future plans.
Merlin Polzin, who joined HSV three seasons ago from Dynamo Dresden, will continue as head coach. The extension indicates HSV's intention to maintain stability and build on last season's success. The coaching team's renewed contracts align with efforts to strengthen the squad and retain key personnel.
Claus Costa, Sports Director of HSV, praised the Hamburg trio, stating that they have been doing excellent work for the club. Richard Krohn, who served as the U21 coach's assistant for almost 15 months, was also included in the contract renewals.
The coaches celebrated a significant triumph half a year after taking over, as they led HSV back into the Bundesliga after a seven-year absence. With the new contracts, they now have two-year deals instead of one, signifying HSV's commitment to their long-term vision.
Despite the challenges ahead in the Bundesliga, Merlin Polzin expressed no concerns about job security. He and his coaching team approach their task with great humility and maximum ambitions, determined to re-establish HSV's presence in the league.
The coaches are grateful for the support and trust they have received from the responsible parties and committees. Loic Favé, who also serves as the sporting director of the youth, joined HSV in January 2024.
This decision by HSV to extend the contracts of its coaching team is a clear signal of the club's backing for the coaches, despite potentially tougher times ahead in the Bundesliga. The most important future decision for HSV has been made, but its implementation is yet to be seen.
The coaches at Hamburger SV (HSV), including Merlin Polzin, Loic Favé, and Richard Krohn, will continue their tenure in the sports sector specifically focusing on football. With the extended contracts, HSV aims to maintain stability and build upon last season's success in the Bundesliga.
