Bochum's Bold New Leadership: Luthe and Villis' Aim for Bundesliga Return
VFL Bochum introduces fresh management team featuring Luth and Villis - Luthe and Villis: VfL Bochum appoint new management bureau
Ready to rise again, VfL Bochum sets its sights on the football Bundesliga under the presidency of Andreas Luthe and Hans-Peter Villis. At a sun-soaked Vonovia Ruhrstadion, the "Team Future" led by Luthe demonstrated the popularity among the eligible 1,968 members, clinching a decisive 1,234 votes in the extraordinary general meeting of the relegated Bundesliga team. The competition, "We for VfL" with Uwe Tigges, Karl-Heinz Bauer, Thomas Ernst, Martin Volpers, and Mirja Dorny, garnered 671 votes.
The presidents' race began following the dismissal of the long-standing president, Hans-Peter Villis, in January, with the assurance that further cooperation under his leadership no longer seemed guaranteed. In a surprising turn of events, Villis has now been re-elected to the presidency, joining a pool of candidates vying for the position that also includes Luthe, Till Grönemeyer, Christian Stenneken, and Bettina Stratmann.
