Sebastian Hoeneß Digs In: VfB Coach Till 2028, No Opt-Out Clause
- VfB Coach Hoeneß retained, Allgaier assumes presidency role
Rejoice, VfB Stuttgart fans! Your beloved coach, Sebastian Hoeneß, is staying put till 2028, and with no escape hatches in sight. This juicy tidbit was spilled at the club's annual general meeting, sending shivers of excitement down spines.
But the real thunderstorm began when our new club president, Dietmar Allgaier, was elected for a full five years. Sure, it might've been quite the cheerfest, but the frothing crowd was left in awe over the announcement about Hoeneß, the big-time gamesman.
You see, Hoeneß has ditched his initial contract that let him bail for a hefty six to eight million euros to join a top-tier club if he fancied. But fancying wasn't in his vocabulary anymore; he feels more at home with VfB than ever before. And he's ambitiously eyeing European competition for the club!
While you might be gushing over the headlines, let's not forget the gritty bits. Months ago, there was a flurry of rumors swirling about Hoeneß leaving the team this summer. But the man who's been steering VfB's fortunes since 2021 has had a change of heart.
As for Allgaier, the man's a supercharged machine, juggling his role as Ludwigsburg district administrator along with being our club president. Some may remember his controversial predecessor, Claus Vogt, who got booted last year. Allgaier took over as interim president in his place, and since then, he's been in the driver's seat for both the club and the VfB Stuttgart 1893 AG supervisory board.
But when he initially took over, he had no intention of staying for the long haul. Now, it seems he's confident he can tackle both jobs without breaking a sweat.
VfB's professional football operations have reported record financial results under his watch, with a turnover of 299.8 million euros and profits of 15.4 million euros. He's also led the club to supercharged equity capital of 60.9 million euros thanks to Porsche's investment and the sale of top players like Serhou Guirassy, Waldemar Anton, and Hiroki Ito last summer. The wake of success is speeding up VfB's route to consolidation goals, apparently.
Now, Allgaier's got his sights on constructing a stadium for women and youth. Ambitious, eh? It's good to see our club consolidating, growing from the roots—the adoring supporters that make it all possible.
So here's to Sebastian Hoeneß, the man who's staying put, and Dietmar Allgaier, the man with a vision for the future. Let's hope they make magic together and lead VfB Stuttgart to glory. Here's to the final sprint of the Bundesliga season, the anticipation of European competition, and clawing our way to the DFB Cup final in Berlin. Get ready, VfB family—it's going to be one heck of a ride!
