Saarbrücken Members Approve Overhaul, President Signals Spin-Off Vote Is Off

The proposed spin-off vote looks shelved following the president's assessment of likely rejection.

Overview

  • Nearly 92% of voting members backed a statute change creating a new leadership model at 1. FC Saarbrücken.
  • Day-to-day operations will shift from the volunteer presidium to three paid executives responsible for sport, finance, and strategy/marketing/sales.
  • The presidium will be cut to two largely representative positions as the supervisory board receives expanded powers.
  • Club president Hartmut Ostermann said a planned second members' meeting on spinning off the pro department is now unnecessary, predicting members would vote it down.
  • Ostermann stated Victor's Group sponsorship continues for now, while the club must recruit the new executives and elect a refreshed supervisory board.
