The six-time German champions have already failed five times in their attempt to get promoted back to the first league. After the sporting misdevelopment of the past few months, the HSV management sees the danger of missing the goal this season too.

This was 48-year-old Walter’s downfall. “Our fluctuations in performance in recent games have been too great and we lack full conviction that we will achieve the necessary balance and stability in our game in this constellation over the next few weeks,” said HSV board member Jonas Boldt.
HSV lost the first two home league games of 2024 3-4 against Karlsruher SC and on Friday Hannover 96, where Louis Schaub scored the guests’ third goal. After 21 rounds, the club, which is in third place in the relegation zone, is two points short of the second permanent promotion spot (Holstein Kiel), leader St. Pauli is five points away.

In 2022, HSV failed in relegation to Hertha BSC and in 2023 to VfB Stuttgart. Walter won’t get a third chance to do better now.
