"I started out as a player for seven years, then moved on to work for the club, be chairman of the supervisory board, president, and face of the foundation. And then I was an amateur athlete at HSV. I turned 40 in November and have spent half my life at HSV - the other half at Gladbach. Thankfully, I also had a very intense time at Bayern in between."
"The first division must be HSV's goal, and we must continue to think in a Hanseatic, down-to-earth way. That's how we'll welcome Bayern this weekend. In terms of sport, there's obviously a world of difference between the two teams, although Bayern's closest rivals haven't fared any better in direct encounters so far this season [laughs]. Everyone's looking forward to this game."
Marcell Jansen spent significant portions of his career at Hamburger SV as a player, executive, supervisory board chairman, president, foundation representative and even as an amateur with the club's third team. He also had spells at Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern Munich and is the last HSV player to represent Germany. Jansen will attend the upcoming HSV–Bayern match as a fan. He insists that promotion to the first division must be HSV's goal and advocates a Hanseatic, down-to-earth approach. After six intense years in executive roles he chose not to seek re-election in June 2025.
