Hamburg SV announced the signing of a new manager - Steffan Baumgarts. In the press conference, he stated he has been a lifelong fan of HSV. I tnink his quote is great, probably true. The paragraph below is from Kicker.de - English translation. When he began his professional coaching career in Paderborn, he reveals, he told his coaching staff that it was his dream to one day work for HSV. Now he lives it. And he consciously says: "I'm happy that I can be here. Everyone knows this: once you decide on a club as a child, it stays that way. You change your wife more often than you change your club."
