Simone Ballack: “Hard exam” passed the hotel manager

As “General Manager”, Simone Ballack (49) can now run a hotel in Italy. The message announces it herself and shows itself beaming next to a flowering mimosa tree. “Today I congratulate myself … From today I can officially lead the hotel in Italy,” writes the ex-wife of footballer Michael Ballack (48) about the photo.

However, the way to the hotel job was not easy, as Ballack emphasizes: “The exam was pretty hard, but I did it.” She proudly explains: “New General Manager in the House”, and thanks all those who believed in her-especially her ex-partner and hotelier Heiko Grote as well as himself. In the post, the 49-year-old also depends on a photo of her examination sheet, which shows that when she “written in writing to determine the suitability for the management of a hospitality” from February 14th “Warfish” or “hygiene” passed “positive”.

For Simone Ballack, the exam is the crowning glory of her new career in the hotel industry. As reported last autumn, she has been working on her second mainstay in the hotel industry for a long time. Most recently, she acted as managing director for several months in a hotel in Austria. Ballack’s great interest in the industry was awakened by her former partner Heiko Grote, whose hotel group maintains numerous companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The two separated after a short relationship in spring 2024, but remained closely connected. “I do the hotel on Lake Garda with him and for him, have renovated and set it up,” said Ballack of the newspaper at the time. At that time, she announced that she was working there as a managing director and manager from this year.

With the new job, a long-cherished dream is fulfilled for TV awareness. “It was always my wish to have a hotel and live abroad. Now I have both,” she said proudly in the interview. After a one -year renovation of the hotel “Mio Mio” in Tignale on Lake Garda, in which Ballack had repeatedly taken her fans on Instagram, the company should now open on April 17. That emerges.
