Last MSV Duisburg Coachs
The most recent recorded coaching appointment is Dietmar Hirsch, who began his spell on 1 May 2024. The available timeline does not establish him as the current holder, so the role is presented neutrally. Hirsch followed Uwe Schubert, whose tenure ran from 1 April to 1 May 2024. Boris Schommers preceded Schubert from October 2023, after Engin Vural’s September-to-October 2023 spell. Torsten Ziegner’s recorded period began in May 2022 and ended in September 2023. All five named coaches are German, and the chronology records appointments rather than a definitive present-day status.

Transfers Synthesis
Taken together, the recorded movement points to active squad turnover across several mechanisms. The arrivals include permanent transfer listings, free-agent agreements, loans and returns from temporary spells, with the latest group adding Besuschkow, Stahl, Ens, Remmert, Kother, Christensen and Safi. The departure side includes transfers, free-agent exits, loans and returns to former clubs, including movement involving Hartwig, Hanin, Kother, Visser and Wegkamp. Because both lists are partial extracts rather than exhaustive registers, they cannot establish a complete in-and-out balance or a definitive net change. The entries do show that the recorded squad followed multiple forms of player movement across 2025 and 2026. Some names appear in more than one dated transaction, reflecting loans, returns or later changes in registration rather than a single uninterrupted move.
Leagues MSV Duisburg has participated in
MSV Duisburg’s recorded competitive footprint includes the 3. Liga, with participation recorded from 2013 through 2025 and recent activity indicated. Friendlies Clubs is also listed from 2020 through 2025 with recent activity indicated, representing the club’s recorded friendly competition. Regionalliga - West appears as a 2024 historical entry rather than a recent competition. The DFB Pokal is recorded from 2011 to 2020, while 2. Bundesliga participation runs from 2011 to 2018; both are historical in this profile. Together, these entries trace league movement across Germany’s professional and regional structure alongside domestic cup involvement.
More about MSV Duisburg
MSV Duisburg is the common name of Meidericher Spielverein 02 e. V. Duisburg, a football club founded in 1902 in Meiderich, now part of Duisburg in North Rhine-Westphalia’s industrial Ruhr region. The club’s blue and white identity is carried by the nickname Die Zebras, inspired by the striped or hooped shirts that have long defined its visual tradition. Its home is the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena in the Wedau district, on the grounds of the historic Wedaustadion. The all-seater venue has a capacity of 31,500 and is also known locally as the MSV-Arena. Duisburg occupies an important place in Germany’s professional football story. The club was an original Bundesliga member when the national top flight began in 1963, and its history has since moved through changing levels of the professional game. That long cycle between the top division and lower professional tiers forms a central part of its identity, while the DFB Pokal has provided a recurring national-cup stage and a tradition of deep runs. The club has also carried its football beyond Germany in historical European competition, including the UEFA Cup. Structurally, MSV Duisburg is rooted in a registered-club model, with professional operations managed through a GmbH & Co. KGaA. That arrangement links formal sporting administration with a broad local membership culture and the community setting of Duisburg. The club’s football character is commonly associated with the Ruhr’s working-class environment: resilient, collective and practical, with an emphasis on team effort and the development of young players. That durable heritage remains the context for the club’s recorded squad, coaching chronology, player movements and competition footprint.
