The team behind the team at Rot-Weiss Essen is to be strengthened. The new CEO is on the lookout.

Following the resignation of Marcus Uhlig and Sascha Peljhan, the board of third-division soccer club Rot-Weiss Essen will consist of just two people in future. From mid-May, these will be Marc-Nicolai Pfeifer and Alexander Rang, who has been with RWE since September 1, 2023.

It is now clear: according to RS information, Uhlig will leave the club on May 31. Pfeifer is set to take over from May 15, although his contract with Essen’s league rivals 1860 Munich has apparently not yet been terminated.

However, as he is no longer actively working for the “Lions”, he is naturally already considering his future at Hafenstrasse. And here Pfeifer already has a wish, which will be fulfilled by Essen. Because the Essen team is still looking for a new man in the administrative area. And 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. “

It’s true, we are still looking for someone for this area

The addition is intended for the level of Head of Department. The restructuring of the traditional club’s office thus continues. After the 2023 Annual General Meeting, at which a large loss had to be announced, the Essen-based club has been gradually working through construction sites to prevent this from happening again.

Board member Sascha Peljhan had reorganized the accounting system. At the time, Peljahn emphasized. “We initiated a process in good time to ensure that all and above all significant deviations are identified at an early stage in future.”

In addition, the club also made it clear that communication needed to be improved and that more transparency was required. And now there is also an addition that deals specifically with the topic of finances
