Hannover 96 Resolves Leadership Dispute to Secure Bundesliga License

The club appoints Marcus Mann and Henning Bindzus to key roles, ending a prolonged internal conflict just before the licensing deadline.

Hannover 96 has promoted Marcus Mann to Sport-Geschäftsführer and hired Henning Bindzus as Geschäftsführer for the commercial sector.
These appointments enable the club to submit its licensing application to the Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL) before the March 17 deadline.
The leadership crisis stemmed from a long-standing conflict between the parent club and its capital investors over control of the organization.
The new leadership team received unanimous approval from the club's supervisory board, signaling a step toward strategic stability.
Both Mann and Bindzus have been tasked with ensuring compliance with DFL requirements and advancing the club's long-term development.
