Two surprising resignations at FC Augsburg followed in the past week. After club president Klaus Hofmann, coach Markus Weinzierl has also announced his resignation. Hofmann is now commenting on possible blackmail speculation.

Surprising resignation: Last Friday evening, the president of FC Augsburg Klaus Hofmann surprisingly announced his resignation. As a result, according to a report by “Bild”, “blackmail” and “hacked messages” are in the room. After the last day of play, coach Markus Weinzierl also announced his resignation.

Health problems: Hofmann has now countered the speculation in a press release and says: “My resignation has nothing to do with allegedly hacked messages or other speculation, but solely with the health reasons I mentioned.” In the last few weeks and months he has repeatedly perceived clear stress signals, reports “Sportbuzzer”.

Hacked messages: In a report, the “Bild” previously claimed that Hofmann had been pushed to resign by sports director Stefan Reuter and co-director Michael Ströll through allegedly hacked WhatsApp messages.
