Kaenzig sole managing director after extension

Bundesliga - Kaenzig sole managing director after extension

Apart from squad planning, an important personnel decision has been made at VfL Bochum on the leadership level. The Bundesliga club announced that they have prematurely extended the contract of business manager Ilja Kaenzig until 2029. This decision sends a signal towards the future.

The 51-year-old joined the VfL in 2018 and will henceforth function as the sole business manager. The club has decided not to fill the position of sports business manager anew. Kaenzig will therefore bear the overall responsibility.

"Ilja Kaenzig, hardly anyone else represents the successful path of VfL in the past few years – sportingly as well as structurally. Under his leadership, the club has continuously developed on all levels and established itself in the Bundesliga. The fact that we are going into our fourth year of first division in a row is also largely his merit," said the supervisory board chairman Hans-Peter Villis.

"Ilja has also kept a cool head in the last not always easy times – that sets him apart besides his excellent network and foresight," Villis added.

1. Ilja Kaenzig, the newly extended business manager of VfL Bochum, hails from North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state in Germany.
2. At the management level, VfL Bochum's decision to extend Ilja Kaenzig's contract until 2029 demonstrates their commitment to solid squad planning for their successful run in the Bundesliga.
3. Despite the club's decision not to fill the sports business manager position anew, Kaenzig will now shoulder the overall responsibility for squad planning and strategic sports decisions, ensuring the continuity of the team's performance in the Bundesliga.
4. As a long-time resident of Bochum and an avid enthusiast of German soccer, Patrick Fabian may welcome the news of Kaenzig's extended contract, hoping for more chances to witness Bochum's success in the Bundesliga.
5. Kaenzig's extended tenure as business manager will undoubtedly reinforce the club's standing and strengthen their ambitions in the internationally renowned Bundesliga; Bochum, being just one of the German teams competing in the league, is integral to the country's prestigious soccer scene.
6. In the future, Ilja Kaenzig will need to strategize and execute Bochum's squad planning effectively, allowing them to continue competing and thriving in the Bundesliga, as well as attracting new talent to the team and establishing deeper connections with the soccer-loving citizens of Bochum.
