Eintracht Braunschweig relies on stability: Wolfram Benz will stay until 2028!

Eintracht Braunschweig has made a significant decision that will impact the future of the club. On July 16, 2025, the association announced that Wolfram Benz would be extended as commercial director by three years until June 30, 2028. This decision is no coincidence, as the chairman of the supervisory board, Jens-Uwe Freitag, described it as a “consequential and conscious decision”. This shows that those responsible place great value on continuity in leadership, especially in these challenging times.

Benz can look back on a successful time at Eintracht Braunschweig. Since his appointment in April 2019, he has worked with sports director Peter Vollmann to overcome numerous challenges, including the corona pandemic, and led the club through turbulent phases. The achievements of his era are particularly noteworthy, such as the last-minute relegation in the 3rd league as well as the subsequent promotion and the challenges that followed.

A strong leadership team

Jens-Uwe Freitag supported the decision for Benz with great praise for his prudence and sense of responsibility. Benz is described as an experienced and reliable part of the operational management team who not only brings the expertise, but also the personal commitment and the necessary commitment to further develop the club structurally, organizationally and sportingly.

Together with his colleagues, Benjamin Kessel and Heiner Backhaus, Benz is working on restructuring the squad. The trio is striving for calm seasons and long-term stability for Eintracht Braunschweig - away from constant nervousness and towards a solid basis on which the club can build. One must not forget that some successes have already been celebrated under Benz's leadership.

Future-oriented vision

Benz himself declared himself optimistic about his future work at Eintracht Braunschweig. He emphasizes that his goal is clear: not only to steer the club through the next few seasons, but also to ensure sustainable development. Eintracht Braunschweig's strategy is not only shaped by current results, but also by a long-term perspective.

Overall, the extension of Wolfram Benz's contract shows that Eintracht Braunschweig relies on stability and experience. At a time when many clubs are struggling with uncertainty, this decision is a step in the right direction to keep the club on track and celebrate new successes. The next few years could be exciting, and it will be interesting to see what steps Eintracht takes next under Benz’s leadership.
