New coach Misha Kaufmann: TVB Stuttgart is planning big changes!
TVB Stuttgart was able to celebrate relegation in the handball Bundesliga in the 2025/26 season and is now starting with a breath of fresh air under a new coach. Misha Kaufmann, who previously worked at ThSV Eisenach, is his successor and has signed a three-year contract. This decision was ultimately officially announced during a press conference, and Kaufmann is already feeling the euphoria and will to succeed in the club. Managing director Jürgen Schweikardt emphasizes that Kaufmann's and the club's goals harmonize perfectly, because everyone has the goal of breaking into the top ten of the league. [Handball-world] reports that Kaufmann will begin his work in the summer with individual discussions and a careful analysis of the team.
The club is taking the first step towards success through a comprehensive squad restructuring. Seven new players will be welcomed to bring fresh impetus to the team. The new additions include Daniel Rebmann from SG BBM Bietigheim and Simone Mengon as well as Ivan Snajder, both from ThSV Eisenach. Jakob Nigg, who comes from HC Fivers in Austria, and Kasper Thorsen Lien from Elverum Håndball in Norway are also there. Antonio Serradilla, a Champions League winner, is moving from SC Magdeburg to Stuttgart and will primarily strengthen the backcourt and defense.
Departures and loan transactions
But it's not just new arrivals that are on the agenda. The club also has to part ways with several players. For example, Samir Bellahcene is moving to Dinamo Bucharest in Romania, while Jorge Serrano is moving to Recoletas Atletico Valladolid in Spain. Nico Schöttle, who is going to Bergischen HC, and Daniel Fernandez, who is finding his new home at FC Barcelona, are also among the departures. The Stuttgart team has now also tied down their player Luka Krivokapic until 2028, although he is on loan to BM Granollers for a year.

While big changes are coming in Stuttgart, there were also exciting developments in the handball Bundesliga. SC DHfK Leipzig has hired a new coach, Raul Alonso, who comes from North Macedonian first division club RK Eurofarm Pelister. Alonso has already enjoyed great success with his previous club, including a national championship title and Champions League qualification. This clearly shows that the coaching landscape in the league is very dynamic and the teams want to position themselves in the best possible way in order to remain competitive. [Sportbild] emphasizes how important it is to make the right decisions in order to create successful seasons.
Overall, everything indicates that TVB Stuttgart, with Misha Kaufmann at the helm, is excellently positioned to take on the coming challenges in the Bundesliga. The team will go into the new games next season with fresh enthusiasm and a well-thought-out squad and is eager to climb further up the table.
