Hamburger SV extends contract with chief scout - Hamburg SV secures Sebastian Dirscherl's future as head of scouting

Hamburg SV has extended the contract of Sebastian Dirscherl, keeping him as head of scouting. The 39-year-old has played a key role in reshaping the club's squad since replacing Claus Costa. His continued leadership qualities were welcomed by HSV's board members.

Eric Huwer, a board member, publicly expressed satisfaction with the decision to retain Dirscherl's expertise.

The contract extension ensures Dirscherl remains in charge of scouting operations. His influence on player recruitment will continue to shape HSV's future squads. The club has confirmed no further changes to his responsibilities.
