New sporting director wanted! Ex-international linked with Hannover?

New sporting director wanted! Ex-international linked with Hannover? There is still no calm at Hannover 96 under head coach Sandro Wagner, despite their recent morale-boosting 2–1 win over Dynamo Dresden. Sitting 12th, the second-division club are falling short of their own expectations on the pitch, while the recent departure of Jonas Boldt has added to the turmoil: the managing director for sport was relieved of his duties after barely five months in the job, amid strong criticism from club patron Martin Kind. A prominent name is now being linked with the search for a successor: according to Sky, former Germany international Marko Marin is among the candidates being considered by the “Reds.” The 37-year-old, who played for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, has been gaining management experience at Red Star Belgrade since retiring as a player. After a spell as head of scouting, Marin has served as technical director at the Serbian giants since spring 2023. Whether an agreement will actually be reached remains unclear, however. Martin Kind is said to think highly of Marin, but Hannover’s leadership has shortlisted three candidates in total. Marin is reportedly not currently the frontrunner for the sporting director role.
