Dynamo Dresden: Michael Born plans to return to the supervisory board!

The excitement surrounding the Dynamo Dresden football club continues. A new supervisory board will be elected in November and the association's members are asked to cast their votes. In this context, Michael Born, an experienced football expert, is considered a possible candidate. [Bild] reports that the application deadline for the new control committee ended last Monday. The candidates will be announced next week.

Michael Born is not unknown to many. The 57-year-old was commercial director at Dynamo from 2016 to 2020 and has proven to be a competent leader during this time. He led the club to an annual surplus of 4.5 million euros in the 2018/19 financial year and recorded equity of 9.4 million euros. After his time at Dynamo, he moved to SpVgg Bayreuth, where he worked in the 2022/23 season before joining the Dresden Titans basketball team. But his involvement with the Titans was also short-lived as his contract was not extended for economic reasons.

Realignment in the supervisory board

The background to the discussion about Born is complex. Before his sudden departure as managing director of Dynamo Dresden, which took place just four days before the DFB Cup game against Hamburger SV, there were always tensions within the club. It is reported that Born and the club's management had already fallen out, and internally that his dismissal was already planned, but was then prevented by the veto of ex-sports director Ralf Minge. [Kicker] describes that the executive board of Dynamo Dresden saw the step to furlough as part of a strategic realignment of the management.

The new supervisory board will play a crucial role in the future. He should not only supervise the management, but also help determine the sporting course that is so important for Dynamo. The Supervisory Board is specifically looking for candidates who have sporting, economic and legal expertise. The Presidium contacted Michael Born directly to recruit him for the committee. This makes it clear that his experience and expertise is considered valuable not only in company management, but also in the supervisory board.

The decision of the members

The final decision about Michael Born's return to SG Dynamo Dresden now lies with the members, who will vote in November. A commitment to the supervisory board could mean a second chance for Born to deal with the club's management in a new way. So far, Born is optimistic, but how the members will decide remains to be seen. [Dynamo Dresden] informs that all further developments surrounding the supervisory board election will be communicated in a timely manner.

The coming weeks will be exciting, not only for Dynamo, but also for all fans and members of the club. It is clear that the supervisory board will set the course for the future, and it remains to be hoped that the new elections will mark the turning point in the club's history that many have longed for.
