Fortuna Düsseldorf Chiefs Admit Errors at Member Assembly

Leaders signal only modest winter signings from a €2.1 million surplus following a slide to 15th in the 2. Bundesliga.

Overview

  • Sport director Klaus Allofs told members that decisions had gone wrong and performance had fallen short of club standards.
  • Club chairman Alexander Jobst acknowledged misjudgments and slow reactions as he called for learning from mistakes.
  • The switch from Daniel Thioune to Markus Anfang has not delivered a turnaround, with five winless matches and four defeats under the new coach.
  • Roughly 700 to 800 members attended, reacting with audible laughter when Allofs said the next games would bring a turnaround before later applauding the squad.
  • Management intends to seek winter reinforcements only if finances allow, with CFO Arndt Hovemann reporting a €2.1 million surplus for 2024/25.
