When looking for a new president, the DFB has to do without a name: The DFL supervisory board, Peter Peters, has now declined. The reason lies with the amateur representatives.
Peter Peters has given up his ambitions to be elected DFB President. “I’ve shown interest,” Peters told WDR on Sunday. “But I said just as clearly that I would only do that if I had the trust of the amateur representatives. And I think the amateur representatives will take the old route and elect a representative from their circle again. You have to respect that.” The DFL supervisory board head is currently jointly managing the German Football Association on a transitional basis Rainer Koch.
Previously, the regional association bosses had agreed that the candidates for the DFB presidential election next March should come from the amateur sector. The presidents of the regional associations are now to confer with the professional camp of the German Football League on this.
