Röttgermann succeeds Schäfer as the new individual in position
New Leadership at Fortuna Düsseldorf: Thomas Röttgermann Takes Over as Supervisory Board Chairman and Christian Koke Appointed as Marketing Director
In a significant move for Fortuna Düsseldorf, the supervisory board has made a series of changes to its leadership. Last Saturday, the board withdrew its trust from former chairman Robert Schäfer with a clear majority, and appointed Thomas Röttgermann as the new supervisory board chairman.
Robert Schäfer, who has been with the club for some time, has accompanied Fortuna during an important phase and initiated many key projects. Discussions on an amicable termination of his board contract are currently ongoing. The supervisory board expressed its gratitude to Schäfer for his contributions.
Thomas Röttgermann, a well-respected figure in the world of football, brings extensive experience and professionalism to his new role. He has been following the development of Fortuna for many years and understands the intricacies of how a club functions. Röttgermann values reliability and unity, and believes that these principles are essential for the success of the club.
In addition to Röttgermann's appointment, Christian Koke has been appointed as the new marketing director of Fortuna. Koke is active in various positions in Düsseldorf and previously served as the publishing director of a renowned publishing house. He considers it an honor to contribute to the future of Fortuna in this role.
Koke's appointment is part of strengthening the marketing department of Fortuna. The club is described as a unique entity that combines tradition, fascination, and uniqueness. Koke shares this sentiment and is eager to help Fortuna capitalise on the great opportunities that German football offers.
Röttgermann looks forward to developing Fortuna step by step with his long-standing experience in professional football. He believes that the club's success is closely connected with its fans and members, and that the state capital and its citizens will be alongside Fortuna.
A unique fan scene supports Fortuna, according to Röttgermann. He emphasises the importance of this support and is committed to working closely with the fans to ensure the continued success of the club.
Fortuna is poised for a bright future under its new leadership. With Röttgermann at the helm and Koke driving the marketing efforts, the club is well-positioned to build on its rich history and continue to captivate football fans in Düsseldorf and beyond.
