Footy Blues: Golz Bails Out After Magath's Rejection, Leaves HSV Presidency Up for Grabs
Following Magath's Refusal: Golz Steps Down from HSV Leadership Position - Following Magath's rejection, Golz chooses to step down in pursuit of the HSV presidency.
Hang up those campaign posters, folks! Richard Golz, a former pro and HSV goalkeeper, has thrown in the towel in his bid for the club's presidency. He announced the shocking withdrawal via his LinkedIn, citing incompatibility with the proposed direction in collaboration with Felix Magath as the reason for his departure. The Hamburg Abendblatt first broke the news.
At first, Golz intended to join forces with Magath as his vice-president at the June 21st members' meeting. However, the club's board nixed Magath's presidency bid, leaving Golz as a lone ranger.

Golz expressed his displeasure about the board's apparent unwillingness to reconsider Magath's bid, stating, "It seems the board's mysterious decision will hold. I'm personally disappointed about this situation." With hope for Magath's potential reinstatement dwindling, Golz decided to fold his hand.
Now, the contenders for the presidency include Kai Esselsgroth, Henrik Köhnke, and Frank Ockens. Laura Ludwig and Anna Stöcken are still in the running for vice-president, while Ralph Hartmann and Michael Papenfuß areAspiring treasurers.
