According to information from the TV channel Sky, Hamburger SV has separated from its coach Tim Walter after a good two and a half years. Accordingly, the club bosses of the third-placed team in the second division, led by sports director Jonas Boldt, have decided to continue immediately without the 48-year-old on the sidelines.
The six-time German champions have already failed five times in their attempt to finally get promoted back to the Bundesliga. After the bad sporting development of the past few months, the HSV management apparently sees the danger of missing their big goal this season after three home defeats in a row.
Before Christmas, Walter was already on the brink. Then he received another clear order from sports director Boldt and sports director Claus Costa to stabilize his team. However, eight goals conceded in the first two home games of the new year against Karlsruher SC (3:4) and Hannover 96 (3:4) showed that the coach couldn’t manage this.
Walter moved to HSV in the summer of 2021. In the past 40 years, there have only been three coaches with a longer tenure in Hamburg: Ernst Happel (1981-1987), Benno Möhlmann (1992-1995) and Frank Pagelsdorf (1997-2001).
