Rüdiger Fritsch wants to stay president of Darmstadt 98

After a brief moment of grief about the missed Bundesliga promotion, SV Darmstadt 98 is proud of the past season. The big ones were annoyed by the end. But in the end you have to stay humble. "We are SV Darmstadt 98 and not FC Bayern of the 2nd league who has everything away," said Rüdiger Fritsch. Humility is a topic that accompanies the SV98 president with the lilies all his time. Finally he came to the club when he had just registered bankruptcy.

main grandstand becomes more expensive - reserves have shrunk slightly

The business lawyer stands for a solid financial course, but must have a loss of around two million euros for the first time for the current season Corona. The reserves in the single -digit million range have recently declined, but still existed. A buffer for the additional costs of ten percent known on Wednesday were of course planned for the construction of the new main grandstand. Even a third division scenario must always be in mind as a second division team. A black zero is striving for the coming season.

single -digit place in the table as a goal

In view of the placements of excessive expectations of the coming season, Fritsch warned in terms of sport - according to the motto: "7th, 5th, 4th - it is already clear what will come out next season." Teams such as Düsseldorf, Bielefeld, Hanover or the losers of the relegation games would help to ensure that the league will not be worse in the coming season. The SV Darmstadt has established itself as a second division team, and again strives for a single -digit place in the table.

long term targeted

In autumn, new elections are pending for the Presidium. Because the stadium conversion is probably the largest project of the Fritsch era, he would like to experience the finished stadium as a president. Therefore, the existing presidium in autumn at the general meeting will probably be closed for re -election. In addition, an extension of the term of office of the Presidium is addressed from two to three years to enable longer planning horizons and a regular transition.

"It would be unwise to throw a new water into the cold," said Fritsch. "We would like to put him in the lukewarm bathtub, where he already has a few ducks with which he can play."
