Quick Glance: Power Struggle at VfB Stuttgart: Investors vs. President Vogt
  • Behind VfB Stuttgart's sporting successes, a power struggle rages between President Vogt and the investors, reminiscent of past conflicts.

  • The debate revolves around the chairmanship of the supervisory board of the operational AG, held by Vogt, but investors like Porsche CFO Meschke are pushing for a change.

  • There are voices within the e.V. looking to strip Vogt of the supervisory board chairmanship to avoid tensions and strengthen investor influence.

  • It remains to be seen if Vogt can keep his promise to permanently hold the supervisory board chairmanship or if a vote will take place where he would have a disadvantage. Tanja Gönner is attempting to act as a mediator.
