Hannover 96 dismisses Sporting Director Jonas Boldt
Hannover 96 has terminated the contract of Sporting Director Jonas Boldt after only five months in the role. The club’s supervisory board reached the decision unanimously, effective immediately. Boldt, who joined the club in June from Hamburger SV with a contract intended to run until 2029, leaves following a period of sporting instability, including a recent exit from the DFB-Pokal.
The dismissal comes amid significant pressure on head coach Sandro Wagner. Despite the leadership change, Wagner led the team to a 2:1 victory against Dynamo Dresden in a critical relegation battle, with goals from Husseyn Chakroun and Marcel Hartel. The win moves Hannover 96 from last place to twelfth in the 2. Bundesliga, while Dresden falls to the bottom of the table.
Club patron Martin Kind has previously expressed dissatisfaction with the club’s direction, emphasizing that relegation to the 3. Liga would jeopardize the club’s financial model. Following Boldt’s departure, Henning Bindzus remains the sole managing director.
