Viola Odebrecht has extended her contract with RB Leipzig ahead of schedule. The 43-year-old will remain Head of Women's and Girls' Football at the Saxon Bundesliga club until 2030. The previous contract would have expired in the summer of 2027.
"Women's soccer is a fast-growing, dynamic market. This makes it all the more important to manage this area with great expertise and a strategic view. Viola brings with her the necessary experience, a large network and a clear signature that have already had a decisive influence on the development at RB Leipzig in recent years," said Managing Director Marcel Schäfer, explaining the appointment.
