Neumann will become head of the licensed players department

Paul Fernie: „With Matthias, we’re bringing back an employee who has always done outstanding work during his years with the Lilies. He possesses extensive knowledge of the processes and a very good feel for the different personalities within the professional players‘ department, and will therefore serve as an organiser and liaison between the various departments and the front office. We are delighted to have found the ideal candidate for this position in Matthias so quickly.“

Matthias Neumann: „I’m really looking forward to returning to the Bölle. To be honest, I didn’t expect to be working for the Lilies again so soon this summer, but after initial contact and the first discussions, it quickly became clear to me that I wanted to seize this opportunity. My connection to Darmstadt has never been broken; I’ve known many of the staff and players for several years, so I won’t need any time to settle in.“

Neumann has already started work and is also accompanying the team to the training camp in El Saler.
