Magath assumes sports director role in the fourth division of football
In a historic move, football legend Felix Magath has been appointed as the sporting director of his hometown club, Viktoria Aschaffenburg, in the Regionalliga Bayern[1][3][5]. Magath, born in 1953 in Aschaffenburg, began his playing career with the club in 1972 and now returns to his roots after a successful career as a player and coach[2].
Magath's career highlights include stints as a midfielder for clubs like Hamburger SV and the West Germany national team, as well as a managerial career that saw him lead several top German clubs, including Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, Eintracht Frankfurt, VfB Stuttgart, Bayern Munich, and most recently Hertha BSC in 2022[2][3].
In his new role, Magath will oversee and drive the sporting development and strategic direction of Viktoria Aschaffenburg. The club sees his appointment as a "once-in-a-lifetime" and "historic" opportunity to grow and strengthen the club[1][3][5]. Magath will initially take over the position in an acting capacity and will be confirmed at a members' meeting later this year.
Meanwhile, in Esslingen at Sirnau, experts are fighting against an invasive ant colony that has made its home in the B10 noise barrier. The eradication of the ant colony is still possible[4].
Elsewhere, thousands of visitors are celebrating on the airfield in Boeblingen, but no specific information about a Mallorca party or schlager stars performing in Boeblingen is mentioned in this article.
As the streets of Stuttgart empty in the summer, Magath's career with Hamburger SV comes to mind. His career with the club saw great success, but he failed to become its president[6]. However, his recent success with Hertha BSC, where he saved the club from Bundesliga relegation via playoffs, has solidified his reputation as a football maestro.
With Magath at the helm, Viktoria Aschaffenburg aims to benefit from his extensive playing and managerial experience, as the club looks to make a mark in the fourth tier of German football.
