Contract extension at VfB? This is the current status at Mislintat

Contract extension at VfB? This is the current status at Mislintat

It is still unclear whether Sven Mislintat will extend his contract at VfB Stuttgart. One factor will be whether he gets more decision-making power in squad planning.

The question of whether Sven Mislintat and Stuttgart will part ways at the end of the season is currently a frequently asked one. After all, the sports director is a very important person for the club. There is no doubt about that.

As of now, however, he is in his last year of contract. An extension does not appear to be imminent. On the other hand, it is far from clear that he will leave.

No talks between VfB and Mislintat yet

The situation is still very open and will probably not be resolved in the near future. Noisy skywould like to extend Mislintat in principle. He likes the club and feels at home with his family. An important aspect for the 49-year-old, who joined the Swabians in April 2019.

However, no talks regarding the future together are said to have taken place. CEO Alexander Wehrle would like to tackle this as soon as possible, but there is still no working basis.

According to the report, it is important for the sporting director to get more power when it comes to squad planning. In the current status, he cannot decide for himself whether players are signed or sold. It requires the approval of the board of directors. Although this gives him freedom, he noticeably works below the board.

For him it is “the be-all and end-all” that important decisions can be made as quickly as possible. For example, he needs two out of three signatures from the board of directors for transfers. Sometimes, depending on the volume of a transfer, he has to make an extra presentation to the supervisory board. He doesn’t want to change anything about this structure, but he would like to see the cooperation in the temporal sense revised.

Whether he then officially continues to act as a sports director or as a sports director does not play any role for him. For him, it’s more about the opportunities to get the best out of his work.

This also means that income from sales can again be viewed as potential expenses. He would like to be able to “spend the full amount on new signings”. sky further.

For Mislintat, competences are in the foreground – interested parties are ready

Overall, the starting position is therefore quite open. Working title, contract length and the like will be of secondary importance to Mislintat. The focus when considering a signature will be the competencies.

It is already clear: If he does not extend his contract and leave VfB, there will be no shortage of interested parties at home and abroad.
