Holger Stanislawski To Leave St. Pauli At Season’s End

Current St. Pauli manager Holger Stanislawski is Hoffenheim-bound. Just days after he announced that he’d be departing the relegation-threatened side, Stanislawski has, as expected, revealed that he would be moving to Hoffenheim in the summer on a three year deal:

Hoffenheim’s previous coach Ralf Rangnick designed in January after the club authorised the sale of defender Luiz Gastavo to Bayern Munich. Assistant coach Marco Pezzaiuoli has taken over in the interim - he will be returning to his role as assistant as soon as Stanislawski joins the team at the end of the season.

Today it was announced that manager Holger Stanislawski will be leaving FC St. Pauli at the end of the season. According to the official Bundesliga website, he stated that “We’ve had an incredibly intense last few years and my batteries just aren’t recharging any more. We need a change now, someone fresh needs to come in.”

Holger has been a stalwart at the club since the 1993-1994 season when he made his debut for the club in defense. He would remain at the club as a player until the end of the 2003-2004 season, when he would head into the coaching ranks at St. Pauli.
