Hasan Ismaik to Sell TSV 1860 München Shares After 14 Years of Turbulence

The investor cites cultural misunderstandings and ongoing conflicts as reasons for his decision, setting a high financial bar for potential buyers.

Hasan Ismaik announced plans to sell his shares in TSV 1860 München, ending 14 years as the club's investor and part-owner.
He stated that his continued involvement would only perpetuate the club's current state and called for new leadership to take over.
Ismaik set a financial requirement of 200 to 300 million euros for any prospective buyer, emphasizing the significant investment needed.
The investor admitted to underestimating the cultural and governance complexities of the club, including the 50+1 rule, when he first became involved.
During his tenure, Ismaik rescued the club from insolvency in 2011 but faced persistent clashes with management and a lack of mutual respect.
