The comment didn’t go down well… Ahead of the Bundesliga relegation playoff between VfL Bochum and Fortuna Düsseldorf (8.30 pm, live updates on BILD), Sat1 presenter Matthias Opdehövel had the new HSV boss, Stefan Kuntz, as an expert by his side. Opdenhövel welcomed him: “Unbelievable. HSV is in the relegation.” Kuntz responded, “Nobody’s laughing about it in Hamburg.” Opdehövel added, “It’s not a laughing matter, it’s a fact. Congratulations on the new job. Do you know what you’re getting into?” Kuntz replied, “Thank you. I can join one of the biggest clubs with a lot of stability recently. Now, I want to help achieve a big goal.” (Score: VfL Bochum 1 – 2 Fortuna Düsseldorf)
After missing out on promotion for the sixth time in a row, there’s little cheer in Hamburg. Kuntz, after being introduced as the new HSV head, immediately headed to Bochum. His aim for the upcoming season is to secure promotion to the Bundesliga. The challenge awaits him, but he is excited to work towards this goal at one of Germany’s most historic clubs.

The road to success won’t be easy for Kuntz and HSV, but with determination and a clear purpose, they hope to make their mark and return to the top flight of German football. As Hamburg looks to turn their fortunes around, all eyes will be on Kuntz’s leadership and the team’s performance in the coming season. It’s a tough journey ahead, but with hard work and dedication, anything is possible in the world of football.
