For Hamburg SV: For Hamburg SV sports board member Stefan Kuntz, little has changed despite the club's first win of the 2025-26 Bundesliga season on Sunday. "It is a great relief for everyone, and we can use the energy unleashed, but things haven't changed significantly for the club," Kuntz said after HSV's 2-1 victory over Heidenheim.

"The challenge remains as we start from the bottom and aim to secure our first-division spot with an entirely restructured squad," added the former Germany international.

Despite HSV's rich history, Kuntz, 62, warned of a difficult road ahead after seven years in the second division. The club's six national championships - the last in 1983 - and its European Cup triumph in 1983, he said, "belong to the past, even as we enjoy the energy triggered by our fans."
