Hamburger SV have identified their new sporting chief. The German club will appoint Kathleen Krüger as board member for sport. She currently works as head of organisation and infrastructure at FC Bayern Munich.
The supervisory board at HSV approved her appointment on Tuesday evening. Reports indicate she will sign her contract shortly. She will begin her new role in the summer.
Krüger will share leadership duties on the executive board with Eric Huwer. Her responsibilities will include organisation, infrastructure and corporate communications. However, transfer dealings will stay with sporting director Claus Costa.
The position became vacant four months ago. Stefan Kuntz left the club in January following serious misconduct allegations. Krüger now steps into this crucial role at the Hamburg-based side.
