Overview

• Alexander Barta, a longstanding figure at Düsseldorfer EG since 2016, has officially departed from his role as Sport Manager.
• The club’s CEO, Rick Amann, emphasized the need for a fresh start across sports management to modernize operations and improve team performance.
• Rich Chernomaz, a former championship-winning coach, was appointed on Sunday to lead the team’s push for promotion back to the DEL.
• Barta’s departure follows earlier leadership changes, including the dismissal of Sportdirektor Niki Mondt and the non-renewal of contracts for head coach Steven Reinprecht and assistant coach Saku Martikainen in March.
• DEG’s relegation to the DEL2 for the upcoming season has prompted a comprehensive restructuring to restore the club’s competitive standing.
