Mario Eggimann Steps Up as KSC's New CEO: Fresh Perspective, Challenges, and Team Rebuilding
Vice President Mario Eggimann is stepping up to bat as the new CEO of Karlsruher SC (KSC), ready to steer the team through turbulent waters and rebuild the squad. Eggimann admitted that his promotion wasn't part of his initial plans, but he's excited to get to know the KSC from a fresh perspective.
New Era Begins with a Kick
KSC is sending a clear message: The Kreuzer era is drawing to a close. As the new CEO of Sports, Eggimann prepares to face significant challenges - both sporting and structural. Eggimann shared his ambition of forging a strong bond with the team, which he believes will be essential for success.
Powerful Connections and Proven Track Record
The former captain's network of contacts in the football industry will be critical in his new role. Eggimann co-founded SportsTransfer after his professional career, helping young players make crucial decisions regarding their careers. "My network is vital for this position, but other members of our team are also well-connected," Eggimann said.
A To-Do List to Tackle
With key personnel potentially on their way out, such as Chief Scout Michael Bischof and U19 Coach Ralf Kettemann, Eggimann's to-do list is already growing rapidly. "We need to evaluate whether and how we'll fill any vacant positions," explained the new CEO of Sports. He promised to provide more details on his plans for filling these positions and transfer strategies in the upcoming weeks.
One Coach Looking Forward
Christian Eichner seems optimistic about Eggimann's new role. "I associate Mario with successful times," Eichner said. The team is determined to give Eggimann a solid starting point.
Bracing for a Busy Half-Season
Eggimann will need to address immediate concerns within the squad, like the departures of top striker Budu Zivzivadze and central defender Robin Bormuth. He plans to unveil his strategy for managing personnel needs in the coming weeks, focusing on finding the right balance between established players and emerging talent.
Chasing the Waiting Game
As Eggimann settles into his new role, his position within the presidium will become vacant. Per the statutes, this position must be filled within three months. According to club representative Michael Becker, an election is expected to take place in late July during an extraordinary general meeting.
