Dynamo Dresden releases sports director Brendel - Dynamo Dresden fires CEO Brendel amid internal conflicts and leadership crisis
Dynamo Dresden, currently ranked 17th in the 2025/26 2. Bundesliga, is seeking a new chief executive officer (CEO) following the departure of Thomas Brendel. Brendel, who joined the club in June 2024 and oversaw their promotion last season, has left ahead of schedule. The club's board of directors relieved Brendel of his duties due to internal disagreements. Despite the sudden change, Dynamo Dresden has implemented an interim CEO to maintain continuity. The search for a permanent successor is now the club's top priority, but no names have been officially announced yet. Sources indicate that the decision to remove Brendel was made just a week before the members' general meeting. Dynamo Dresden, with its interim CEO in place, continues to focus on its league position. Securing a permanent sports manager is crucial for the club's future, and fans eagerly await updates on the search for Brendel's successor.
