Potsdam after relegation: Hanning announces talented upheaval!

The managing director of Foxes Berlin and sports director of 1st VfL Potsdam, Bob Hanning, has recently commented on the current situation of the association. After the direct relegation of the 1st VfL Potsdam was sealed, Hanning is satisfied with the development of the association, despite the sporting setbacks. "The association developed well and created important structures," he emphasizes in an interview. Nevertheless, Hanning admits that he made mistakes at the change of coach before the season because the new coach Emir Kurtagic only had a week to connect with the team before the start of the season.

for VfL Potsdam, a passionate journey ends, which in the past three years led from the 3rd league to the 2nd league to the Bundesliga. The decisive victory that secured the climb was a home success against Großwallstadt. Hanning will continue to work as a "Head of Sport", but has decided to put his role as a coach after he hired Emir Kurtagic, one of his preferred solutions for the coaching position. Kurtagic will also lead the U-18 European Championship in August 2024.

changes in the team and youth work

With the upcoming upheaval within the team, Hanning plans to make important newcomers to increase the performance of the team. Departures like Elias Kofler to Hamburg and Maxim Orlov to Hanover have already made waves. Hanning hopes to sign young players with development potential and announces that a new goalkeeper and a assistant coach will also be sought. The focus is on promoting their own offspring, because Hanning sees great potential in the young talents like Lasse Ludwig.

The Foxes Berlin, on the other hand, have the opportunity to fight for the championship title in the Bundesliga, depending on the results of the remaining games. With the aim of winning the Euroleague, Hanning strives to preferably achieve this with their own talents instead of using external players. Hanning is convinced that passion, heart and a little luck are crucial for long -term success in the Bundesliga.

sustainable young talent work in handball

In Germany, the promotion of young talent in handball is already well established, supported by regional associations and the German Handball Association (DHB). These associations offer various programs, including school campaign days, competitions and handball schools to develop talent. The DHB focuses on the promotion of highly gifted players who are to be introduced to national teams. Measures vary conscientiously depending on the federal state and are on an athletic and handball -specific learning approach.

The structure of talents aims not only to convey sporting skills, but also to promote the personal development of the players. Hanning has successfully worked with young players in the past, and these strategies, combined with the possibilities of the DHB, form a solid basis for the development of the next generation of handball players.

The challenges are great, but Hanning sees the future of the 1st VfL Potsdam positive. With a clear plan for recruiting and developing a hungry, young team, the club could take a new beginning despite the current setback.
