Ilzer, Christian
– Sturm Graz
+ TSG Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim’s sporting director Andreas Schicker has confirmed that Chris Ilzer from Sturm Graz is the Kraichgau club’s preferred candidate to succeed Pellegrino Matarazzo. “Chris is high on our list,” said the 38-year-old. The aim is an immediate change, in view of the precarious sporting situation, considerations of bringing Ilzer only in the winter or even in the summer of 2025 were rejected. The talks will therefore focus on the transfer fee for the 47-year-old, who led Sturm Graz to a double in Austria. Schicker hopes to find a solution during the international break.
