FCA club boss Hofmann resigns for health reasons

Klaus Hofmann is no longer club chief of FC Augsburg. As the Bundesliga club announced, the 54-year-old resigned on Thursday as President of the registered association and as managing director of FC Augsburg 1907 GmbH & Co. KGAA.

"For some time now, I have been suffering from the double pollution at the FCA and my company under stronger health problems," said Hofmann. In his view, this means that "I can no longer carry out both topics with the usual and necessary care". Hofmann's concentration from then on applies to his company and his health, which is "certainly the most important thing in life".

FCA supervisory board boss Thomas Müller paid tribute to Hofmann's services to the club, who also kept the class prematurely in the eleventh Bundesliga year. Hofmann "has strongly shaped the development of the club since December 2014 since December 2014, so that the FCA is now as stable as we experience it today."
