Overview
- Hannover lost 0:2 to 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal on Thursday, a defeat that left Sandro Wagner still winless after four matches in charge.
- Local reporting says shareholders and representatives of the parent club have agreed to part ways with sporting director Jonas Boldt after five months in the role.
- Boldt has publicly backed Wagner, saying the coach can work in peace while he remains, and Boldt himself told ARD he saw no reason not to stay after the cup exit.
- Wagner’s early record and his defensive press posture are being read alongside his short, troubled spell at FC Augsburg, which has sharpened criticism from fans and media.
- The club’s rapid churn in leadership—recent departures of Jörg Schmadtke and Christian Titz and the reported exit of Boldt—combined with fan unrest in regional derbies raises the likelihood of further boardroom and coaching decisions before the next league game.
