Hamburg officially announced the extension of the contract of its sporting director Klaus Kosti, which will end in 2026.

Having appointed Stefan Kunz as a member of the board of directors of the club and sports nutritionist, Costa made an extremely important contribution to the team's return to the Bundesliga and the reconstruction of the warehouse in Sweden.

“Over the past 18 months, Klaus has demonstrated deep knowledge of the market and a wide range of contacts, as well as actively working with the team, indicating diligence and a team approach. “His contribution to the club before the Bundesliga was overwhelming, and I believe that the continuation of his work is the best solution for the club,” said Kunz..

Costa himself, who arrived before Hamburg in 2019 after working in Leverkusen, said that it was a great honor for him to represent a club of this magnitude.

“Unfazed by the difficulties on the field at the front, we were able to develop a miracle of unity in the team. The support of everyone who works behind the Lashtunks, the close relationship with the coaching staff and the trust from the side of the club were key to our success,” said Costa.

Klaus Costa started his professional career as a football player in 2003, and after completing his playing career he moved to the coaching staff, and then to the club management. Hamburg successfully returned to the Bundesliga last season, and the club is confident that further efforts will help secure the team among the top German clubs.
