"I was asked and for me it's obvious to get actively involved in the issues affecting German football," said Rudi Völler, member of the Bayer 04 shareholders committee.
Top of the to-do list for the committee is the search for a successor to Oliver Bierhoff who was the director of the national teams and academy working for the DFB up to the start of December. The committee is also responsible for preparing the Germany team for the European Championships at home in the summer of 2024. "We need to stand together," said DFB president Bernd Neuendorf: "We'll have to gather strength heading to Euro 2024."
Alongside Völler, the committee also includes Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Matthias Sammer, Oliver Mintzlaff and Oliver Kahn.
