Thomas Hitzlsperger, who is employed by the Swabians as executive director and sports director at the same time, throws his hat into the ring for the March 18, 2021 elections. The former international confirmed a corresponding message from the SWR in an open letter. He is one of four candidates who have submitted their applications.
There were disagreements between the current president of VfB, Claus Vogt, and the supervisory board of the association regarding “legal issues” and “corporate governance, that is, a transparent, specific and risk-aware management of the AG and the association. “.
Vogt has increasingly damaged the club in recent months. Vogt’s misconduct occurred, especially in the context of the data issue. For example, “with the authority of the offices as Chairman and Head of the Supervisory Board, Claus Vogt pushed for an assignment without bidding, without a cost estimate and without a project plan and did not demonstrate the necessary care, competence and coordination in project management “.
“An individual’s desire to raise his profile threatens the existence of the entire club. The president is responsible for the club, not the board, not the club’s advisory council, not the coach.”

These “uncontrolled rising costs” would have meant “that the AG had to support the association to protect it from insolvency.”
Fight for the fiery power
The background to Hitzlsperger’s request is supposed to be an internal power struggle between the inhabitants of Stuttgart. The Vogt, who has only been in office since December 2019, reportedly incurred the ire of veteran VfB officials with critical questions in his role as chairman of the supervisory board. In addition, it probably uses its control function established in the association’s bylaws very broadly.
“Claus Vogt started with goals and ideas that are important to all of us. One year later, almost none have been implemented.”

In the next few days, the advisory council of an eight-member association will select two candidates who can face the vote of the members. In addition to Vogt and Hitzlsperger, businessman Volker Zeh and Friedhild Miller, who both failed as OB candidate from Stuttgart, are on the list. Zeh and Miller have little chance.
