Tim Walter’s comeback at Holstein Kiel

Tim Walter already trained the storks in the 2018/19 season, so he is an old friend on the fjord. He then moved to the then second division club VfB Stuttgart, where he was given a leave of absence after six months. From 2021 to 2024 he coached Hamburger SV, also in the second division, and was then under contract with English second division team Hull City for another five months. The “Walterball” is characterized by a lot of ball possession, combined with high attack pressing and many position changes.

During his first time in Kiel, Walter already worked with Jonas Meffert on the pitch. Walter later guided Meffert to Hamburg as HSV coach, from where the defensive midfielder with leadership qualities moved to Kiel during the last winter break. Walter brings assistant coach Julian Hübner with him to Kiel. Both coaches already worked together at HSV and Hull City.
