Rot-Weiss Essen are looking for an addition for the team behind the team in the finance department. There seems to be a favorite.

Following the resignation of Marcus Uhlig and Sascha Peljhan, the Rot-Weiss Essen board will consist of just two people in future. These are Marc-Nicolai Pfeifer and Alexander Rang, who has been with RWE since September 1, 2023.

Uhlig will leave the club at the end of May. Pfeifer is set to take over in mid-May. The new boss has apparently made a wish that will now be fulfilled. Because the Essen club is still looking for a new man in the administrative area. For the area of finance.

RWE Supervisory Board Chairman André Helf emphasized to Forecasting: “It’s true, we are still looking for someone for this area. Marc-Nicolai Pfeifer is looking around. However, we are not looking for anyone for the Executive Board.”

According to information from this editorial team, Thomas Wulf is a hot candidate. He was already managing director of MSV Duisburg and already knows Pfeifer. Together with his managing director colleague Peter Monhaupt, he resigned from MSV in October 2023 and was officially dismissed on March 7, 2024. so he would be available

At the annual general meeting on June 19, Uhlig had a financial hole in the millions that came out of nowhere for the members present. The event was poorly prepared and badly organized. Things got out of hand and the atmosphere in the hall was disastrous. When the actions of the Supervisory Board were to be ratified, the event was broken off

The AGM, which Uhlig and André Helf later described as a “catastrophe”, was not the only uproar of the year. Here you can read about all the upsets of the RWE year 2023 from our colleagues at WAZ.

Now it could be that Wulf, who worked at MSV for almost seven years, will work at Hafenstrasse in the future. The topic of finances in particular is a hot potato after the 2023 annual general meeting, at which a million-euro shortfall was announced. Many processes were subsequently adjusted to prevent this from happening again. One element of this adjustment could now be the appointment of another financial expert
