Report: Stuttgart Board Member Rouven Kasper Pursues Bayern Switch for 2026 Finance Post

The move, still unconfirmed by either club, would replace outgoing finance chief Michael Diederich, who is headed to Deutsche Bank.

Overview

  • Regional outlets report Kasper has told VfB Stuttgart’s supervisory board he intends to end his contract, which runs until 2028.
  • The targeted start date for a role in Munich is January 1, 2026, according to Stuttgarter Nachrichten and Stuttgarter Zeitung.
  • VfB is reluctant to let him go and is said to be seeking a compensation fee, with no formal negotiations reported so far.
  • Both clubs declined to comment to DPA after Stuttgart publicly denied similar reports in mid-August.
  • Kasper currently oversees marketing and sales at VfB and previously ran Bayern’s Asia-Pacific operations.
