Overview
- HSG Wetzlar announced on November 2, 2026 that the supervisory board has suspended sport director Michael Allendorf with immediate effect.
- The club said the decision responds to the team's unsatisfactory sporting development and differing views about the club's future sporting direction.
- Wetzlar sit winless at the bottom of the Handball-Bundesliga after eleven matchdays with only two points, creating acute relegation danger.
- Allendorf had been appointed in February 2026 and served less than a year, and the club provided no information about a successor or interim arrangement.
- The board framed the change as an effort to create fresh momentum to reach the season goal of staying in the top flight, and the club's short-term results and next management moves will directly affect players, staff and supporters.
