Overview
- TVB Stuttgart has formally extended coach Misha Kaufmann's contract until 30 June 2030 to keep him as the club's long-term head coach.
- Club leaders said the move reflects unanimous backing from the board and a shared vision for steady progress under Kaufmann's leadership.
- Kaufmann joined Stuttgart from ThSV Eisenach in summer 2025 and finished his first season with the team in 12th place, a record the club now wants to improve.
- Preseason signs of progress include a second-place finish at the S-Cup in Altensteig and a standout 18-goal game by new signing Amine Darmoul.
- The extension gives Kaufmann authority to shape the first team and youth structures and will be tested in the coming competitive fixtures beginning with the DFB-Pokal tie at TSB Heilbronn-Horkheim and the Bundesliga opener at home to Bergischer HC.
