Coaching legend Eduard Geyer has reacted with great incomprehension to the unrest at management level at Dynamo Dresden. "I am astonished to see what is happening at board level at Dynamo Dresden following the resignation of president Holger Scholze. Nobody understands such intrigues," the 80-year-old wrote in his column for the German football magazine "Kicker". "Dresden should concentrate on its core business: Soccer and soccer again. So that the club can finally make decisive progress again in sporting terms."
Scholze resigned on Saturday evening after the general meeting and was not sparing with his criticism afterwards. In a statement, the 53-year-old reported on "intrigue games by a few people who have been extremely damaging to the club for years". According to Scholze, "small-mindedness, personal vanity, pomposity, obsession with power, hubris" were the reasons why Dresden was still playing in the 3rd soccer league and not higher.
This was preceded by an honorary council procedure against Scholze. The honorary council had accused Scholze of taking advantage in office. In one incident, Scholze had "advertised his entrepreneurial work in the investment industry in great detail and in a targeted manner", as stated in the annual report for the 2023/24 season. The Honorary Council had therefore fined him 1,000 euros. Scholze always denied the accusations and did not pay the fine.
