Veteran figure, Serdar Tasci, shifts positions, set to assume new duties.
VfB Stuttgart's Fresh Face on the Board
Get ready for a new face in the VfB Stuttgart family, but don't expect this fresh talent to be gracing the pitch. Ex-defender Serdar Tasci is joining the fray, taking on a role in the club's supervisory board. According to our sources, this move should be greenlit at the upcoming Tuesday’s annual meeting of the spun-off VfB AG.
The VfB Stuttgart is about to get a dose of football wisdom. Tasci's role is clear: he's here to beef up the sports expertise. The groundwork for this strategic shift seems to have been laid during the extraordinary meeting of the supervisory board on Wednesday. The cat's out of the bag, but the club's President, Dietmar Allgaier, isn't spilling the beans just yet. The VfB AG's annual meeting will make the final call on adding board members, and until then, the club has imposed a gag order.
Football, Football, Football
You can’t accuse Tasci of being a benchwarmer. He's no stranger to the game, having risen through the ranks in Stuttgart, donning the captain's armband for the pro squad. He also had stints with Spartak Moscow, Bayern Munich, and Istanbul Basaksehir FK, giving him a wealth of international experience. Currently, the Esslingen native is expanding his horizons by attending the management course offered by the German Football Association and the German Football League.
Something New for the VfB
Personnel changes are afoot at the VfB, with both the board and the supervisory board undergoing shifts. Tasci's arrival marks a new era in the supervisory board, as he's poised to offer insights from his footballing background. He'll be a valuable point of contact for sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth, who's been in need of a seasoned pro in football business matters. In the recent past, names like Armin Veh and Joachim Löw were floated as potential candidates. With Tasci's addition, the Stuttgart faithful are buzzing with anticipation, hoping for a fresh, unbiased force to drive the team forward.
