Hamburger SV

Steffen Baumgart has been announced as Tim Walter's successor at Hamburg this morning following Merlin Polzin's spell as interim coach.

After sacking Tim Walter on the 12th February, Bild report that Hamburg are set to reveal Steffen Baumgart as his successor.

Hamburger SV's 2. Bundesliga home match against Hannover 96 was suspended on a temporary basis this evening as the away fans tied themselves to the goal.

In an interview with mopo.de recently, former Hamburger SV captain David Jarolim said "HSV is a better address than Torino" for rumoured transfer target David Zima.

With Noah Katterbach's contract expiring this summer and the player having been demoted to the 1. FC Köln under-21s, Hamburg (HSV) look like a very likely destination for the player.

With HSV's 2:0 victory against Schalke 04 and Torino not willing to negotiate too much further, it remains a doubt whether HSV will get Zima this window.

Following the 2:0 loss to Hamburger SV, Schalke 04 manager Karel Geraerts had a few topics to raise in the press conference after the match.

With Hertha BSC dropping out of the race for the young centre-back, Hamburg SV look likely to acquire David Zima on a loan basis from Serie A side Torino.
