According to media reports, Hamburger SV is holding concrete discussions with Bruno Labbadia as part of its search for a new coach. However, according to information from the TV channel “Sky”, some details still need to be clarified, so it could still take a few days before it can be implemented. A decision is expected for the northern Germans after the away league match against Karlsruher SC (Sunday, 1:30 p.m.).

Labbadia, who has already coached HSV twice, is therefore ready to take up the role at the ambitious second division club. The 58-year-old is convinced of the team’s potential and is highly motivated to achieve the desired promotion to the Bundesliga. “Bild” previously reported that Labbadia was the big favorite. The former striker is a close friend of HSV boss Stefan Kuntz. In Kaiserslautern they both won the cup (1990) and became German champions (1991).

According to “Sky”, the Swiss Urs Fischer, who was not contacted, is currently not involved. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who played at HSV from January 2010 to June 2011 and began his coaching career three years later, will also not succeed Steffen Baumgart. According to consistent information from the English media, the 48-year-old Dutchman is on the verge of signing with Premier League club Leicester City.

Discuss Hamburger SV in the forum now.

According to information from “Bild”, the exchange with former HSV professional Raphael Wicky, dismissed from Young Boys Bern in March 2024, was not concretely continued after an initial conversation. Interim coach Merlin Polzin will take care of the team during Hamburger SV’s away match in Karlsruhe.
