Hannover-Burgdorf Declines to Renew Coach Christian Prokop’s Contract

He remains in charge through the 2025/26 season.

Overview

  • The club announced Friday that Prokop’s deal, which runs until June 30, 2026, will not be extended.
  • Sporting director Sven-Sören Christophersen said the decision followed long, intensive talks and that cooperation ends after this season.
  • The move reflects a months-long slide in results since late March and visible signs of wear between coach and squad.
  • Prokop, who has led Hannover since 2021 and previously coached Germany’s national team, thanked the club and vowed to keep pushing for positive results.
  • Hannover visits SC DHfK Leipzig on Sunday at 15:00 CET with live TV coverage, and reporting indicates the successor search will likely focus on candidates from elsewhere in Europe.
