The final end for Michael Mutzel (42).
According to “Kicker”, the sports director of HSV must now leave the club after more than three years.
The end for the ex-professional (including KSC, Stuttgart, Frankfurt) was initiated after the end of last season, when sports director Jonas Boldt (40) demoted Mutzel and had him removed from the professional squad.
At the time, Boldt said: “Michael does not work in a leadership role around a team.”
Since then, according to Boldt, Mutzel has professionally handled the most recent transfers (Königsdörffer, Raab, Bilbija and Benes).
With squad planning for this transfer window all but complete, the former defensive midfielder’s job looks pretty much done.
Since Mutzel’s contract runs until the summer of 2023, he will start looking for new tasks with a nice severance payment. HSV’s chief scout, Claus Costa (38), could be considered as his successor.
