Bidding Farewell to Geissler: The Closing of an Era at MBC Basketball Club
Business leader at MBC, a glassblower, announces resignation from position - MBC's CEO, Geissler, steps down from his position.
Hey there!
Let's discuss the surprising departure of Martin Geissler, the long-standing Business Manager at Syntainics MBC, a renowned basketball club in Germany. Sources close to the club have confirmed that Geissler plans to step down from his position by December 31st at the latest.
Geissler, who's practically a household name in Weißenfels, has been with the MBC since 2008, serving as the managing partner of the holding company, MBM GmbH, since 2016. In his role, he takes care of sports matters, including hiring coaches and players alike, marketing strategies, as well as league and association work. His ties with the club run even deeper; he started off managing press work back in 2002 before becoming the team manager two years later.
His impressive tenure, lasting more than 17 years, has been marked by numerous successes – including ProA championships and promotions to the Bundesliga in 2009, 2012, and 2017, as well as a third-place finish in the women's Bundesliga Toyota DBBL. However, the club's crowning achievement came last season, when they hosted the BBL Pokal Final4, Germany's largest national basketball event, and brought home their first national title while reaching the playoffs for the German championship for the first time in 24 long years.
Looking for a new adventure, Geissler has decided to move on, leaving behind a significant impact on the MBC basketball club. Though he hasn't specified his next destination yet, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors!
The European Parliament, as a part of the European Union, may potentially express their admiration for Martin Geissler's dedication and contribution to sports, particularly basketball, given his significant role in the success of MBC Basketball Club.
