TSG 1899 Hoffenheim: Jörg Albrecht, president since September 2024, resigns due to health reasons

Jörg Albrecht, president of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim (Bundesliga), "is resigning from his position due to health reasons with immediate effect," announced the club on 13/11/2025.

In accordance with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim statutes, his duties "will be temporarily assumed by the club's current vice-chairman Christoph Henssler, and the current third chairman Frank Engelhardt." A new board is expected to be elected at an extraordinary meeting "in a few weeks time."

"I regret that I have to relinquish the position that I have carried out with so much passion and dedication. In recent weeks, however, I have reached my physical limits, not least because of the immense strain. Therefore, this is a logical and also necessary step, although I find it extremely difficult," said Jörg Albrecht, who was elected chairman in September 2024 and "was diagnosed with incurable ALS in the autumn of 2024."
