Enis Hajri Resigns as Sporting Director of 1. FC Kaiserslautern
The surprise announcement comes just before the January transfer window, leaving the club to navigate key decisions without a replacement in place.
- Enis Hajri, 41, announced his resignation as 1. FC Kaiserslautern's Sporting Director immediately following the team’s 0-1 loss to 1. FC Köln on Sunday.
- Hajri, who has held the role since March 2023, cited personal reasons for stepping down, though the club has yet to officially confirm the resignation.
- Despite early criticism for his role in the team's struggles last season, Hajri had recently been credited for the club's improved performance, with the team now three points off a promotion spot in the 2. Bundesliga.
- His departure leaves the club facing the January transfer window without a Sporting Director, with CEO Thomas Hengen expected to oversee player transactions in the interim.
- The unexpected timing of Hajri's decision has prompted internal discussions about finding a suitable successor to maintain the club's upward trajectory.
