In a bid to prevent further harm to Eintracht Braunschweig, the second-division soccer club, Horst Wolter, renowned former championship goalkeeper, has issued a call for the entire club management, spearheaded by president Nicole Kumpis, to step down. The 13-time international articulated his thoughts in a letter to the "Braunschweiger Zeitung," stressing the importance of creating room for a fresh start to mitigate the current situation's adverse impact on the club.
Wolter's concern stems from Eintracht Braunschweig's position in the relegation zone and the belief that the ongoing chaos under the executive committee and supervisory board is contributing to a significant loss of public sympathy. The former Hertha BSC manager's intervention comes ahead of the club's general meeting, scheduled for Friday evening, where Kumpis is running unopposed for re-election.
Nicole Kumpis, who assumed the presidency of Eintracht Braunschweig in 2021, readily admitted her errors in an interview with the "Braunschweiger Zeitung." The club's professional footballers are currently navigating a relegation battle, marking only one of the missteps in the club's history.
As Eintracht Braunschweig grapples with the challenges of the Bundesliga 2, Wolter's urgent request for the club's management to resign aims to pave the way for a new beginning. It's plausible that the ongoing financial and competitive issues within German professional football, particularly the impact of the constitutional court ruling on police costs, has potentially impacted Wolter's perspective on the club's management.
However, without further details or a direct statement from Wolter, it's challenging to determine the specific reasons behind his calls for resignation.
