Hardung was long considered a close confidante of Julian Nagelsmann and worked with the star coach as a team manager at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and as a licensed game manager at RB Leipzig. In Frankfurt he reports to sports director Markus Krösche. “Timmo Hardung has developed excellently in recent years and also has a broad network in national and international football,” said Krösche in a press release.
The previous team manager Christoph Preuß will take over the management of the licensed players department. Business administration graduate Hardung, holder of the UEFA B license, has also worked in the youth sector. Last year he completed the management course in professional football of the German Football Association and German Football League.
