At the driveway at the stadium, where they had been expected and celebrated, the expected footballers saw how important it was to the city and its people to stay in the class. The relegation was spared the Karlsruher SC and its supporters and thus also a 14-day extension of the uncertainty, for which the club has to plan promptly.
Vice President Holger Siegmund-Schultze had been relieved on Sunday after 5:23 p.m. that the fact that they were part of the Second Bundesliga after being sealed in Fürth after the 2-1 victory in the near future made it possible to think of the near future. He did not yet know whether Oliver Kreuzer would still be responsible in the sporting sector. The discussions on the Advisory Board of KSC GmbH & Co KGaA were still pending.
No job guarantee for the managing director of sport
“This is a really good day for Karlsruher SC and for all those who want to continue working on our change,” said the vice, who will stand for election to the members as the successor to Ingo Wellenreuther on July 30.
“The changes are already going on. But it’s just a nice boost for anyone who believed that there was a bright future for us given the crisis we were in four weeks ago. It is totally beautiful for the fans and for everyone who can keep up with the KSC, ”explains Siegmund-Schultze.

He did not issue a job guarantee for the criticized Oliver Kreuzer on Sunday afternoon in the Ronhof sports park. Will Kreuzer Managing Director Sport, bound by contract until 2021, remain? “I can’t say that at the moment because we decided that we should look at everything again at the end of the season. It stays that way.
That means: We will put together how to do it and then decide, ”said Siegmund-Schultze. In general, he found that the KSC wanted to “look at everything again”, “especially the change processes that also need money and resources”.
Personnel Hofmann also a “question of reason”
The fact that Philipp Hofmann, the third best scorer in the league with 17 goals this season, made his last game for the KSC in Fürth on Sunday, could not be ruled out for the KSC vice. Hofmann only has a one-year contract with the Baden team and aroused the interest of the Bundesliga club FSV Mainz 05.
“We have to wait and see what comes. We have often had it in the past that we had the situation in success, that others wanted our players and we have to face that again this time. Unfortunately, in addition to the hot heart, there is also the cool mind and reason. “
Hofmann had converted the penalty kick to the later 2-1 victory of the Karlsruhe team in Fürth on Sunday. In the previous game, the center forward, who had come from Eintracht Braunschweig in the summer of 2019, forced a 3: 3 against the champions and promoters with two converted penalty kicks. This was the only way the KSC had any chance in the season finale to push 1. FC Nürnberg out of 15th place in the table and to stay in there. This was achieved after the 1-1 of the FCN in Kiel thanks to the better goal difference. Hofmann’s market value is currently stated in relevant industry circles between 2.5 and three million euros.
Schäfer congratulates
Winfried Schäfer, the successful coach of the 1990s, congratulated from Abu Dhabi and, with a view to the presidential elections at the end of July, told the Badische Latest News: “People have to be elected who do not need the KSC but who need the KSC – for one New beginning! “
