A VfB fan has started an online petition and has already collected over 6,000 signatures. The demand: sports director Sven Mislintat should extend.
Sports director Sven Mislintat’s expiring contract is currently the dominant topic at VfB Stuttgart. A VfB fan has therefore started a petition and is calling for the 49-year-old’s contract to be extended soon.
Sven Mislintat’s future at VfB Stuttgart seems more open than ever. The sports director’s contract expires next summer, and talks about an extension have not yet been held. Mislintat is said to have a rather cool relationship with the new VfB boss Alexander Wehrle.
The mood between the two shouldn’t have really improved after that either.
In the future, Mislintat wants more decision-making power in squad planning in order to be able to continue to shape the team according to his ideas.
VfB supporter starts petition for Mislintat whereabouts
Many VfB fans would obviously like that. There is even a petition circulating online that calls for the sporting director’s contract to be extended. “Sven Mislintat has laid the foundations for a sporting (and financial) successful and sustainable future as part of the VfB team in recent years,” says the initiator of the petition, VfB supporter Peter Weilacher.
The demand is clearly formulated: “The immediate start of talks to extend Sven Mislintat’s contract, which take his ideas into account appropriately.”
Around 6,000 signatures have been collected on the portal since Wednesday. It should be at least twice as many in total. Will Wehrle then react? According to reports, the CEO wants to start talks with Mislintat in the near future.
