Leadership Shake-Up at VfL Bochum as Hans-Peter Villis Removed as President

Uwe Tigges assumes interim leadership roles after Villis loses key positions due to eroded trust within the club's management.

Hans-Peter Villis has been removed as president and chairman of the supervisory board of VfL Bochum due to a lack of mutual trust within the club's leadership.
Uwe Tigges, previously Villis' deputy, will serve as interim president and chairman until new elections are held on June 14, 2025.
The decision comes as VfL Bochum faces significant challenges both on and off the field, including being at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings.
Villis had already stepped back from his roles in October 2024, citing health reasons, but remained a member of the club's presidium and supervisory board.
The leadership turmoil adds to the club's struggles during a critical period, with questions raised about its management and future direction.
