Ex-International Linked to Hannover’s Search for New Sporting Director

Hannover 96 Faces Uncertainty After Managerial Shakeup

Hannover 96 continues to experience instability under head coach Sandro Wagner, despite a recent 2–1 victory against Dynamo Dresden. Currently sitting in 12th place, the second-division club struggles to meet its performance expectations on the field. The situation has worsened with the recent exit of Jonas Boldt, who was dismissed from his role as managing director for sport after a brief tenure of just five months, following significant criticism from club patron Martin Kind.

Sky reports that a notable name is now entering the conversation for Boldt’s replacement: former Germany international Marko Marin. The 37-year-old, who had stints at Borussia Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, has been accumulating management experience at Red Star Belgrade since his retirement from professional play. Initially serving as the head of scouting, Marin has taken on the role of technical director at the Serbian club since the spring of 2023.

However, it remains uncertain if an agreement will be reached with Marin. While Martin Kind holds him in high regard, Hannover’s management has compiled a shortlist of three candidates for the sporting director position, and reports indicate that Marin is not currently the leading choice.
