Ismaik leaves 1860 Munich: New beginning for the traditional club!

München, Deutschland - Hasan Ismaik sold his shares in TSV 1860 Munich after 14 years. The Jordan entrepreneur separates from his participations in the traditional club and hands over to a Swiss family holding. This communication came today, on July 5, 2025, through the third division club and will open up new perspectives for the future of the association to fans. The actual conclusion of the takeover is planned for the coming week, as ZDFheute reports.

With Ismaik's farewell, an era is ended, which has not only been characterized by athletic failure since his takeover in 2011, but also by numerous public arguments. During this time, the association was theoretically debt-free, such as tag24, with some credit License of the current season. Ismaik himself expressed that the club now needs someone new and that its presence no longer benefits the club.

the exit and the plans for the future

The details of the purchase price are secret, but the new partner focuses on the preservation and renovation of the Grünwald stadium, the home of TSV 1860 Munich. In this step, the Presidium of the Association sees a commitment to the tradition of the club and the city of Munich. Plans for the renovation of the stadium should be driven in an exchange with the city of Munich according to the specifications of German Football League (DFL).

The ISMAIK era was associated with the hope that its financial resources would lead the association to higher leagues. However, this failed to materialize, and the sporting balance is manageable because the club has been playing in the third highest league since 2018. Now those responsible are optimistic about the future and have the goal of creating the promotion to the 2nd league.

A look at the overall development in football

The Situation at TSV 1860 Munich is part of a larger trend in German football, as financial transition research notes. More and more clubs have sold capital shares to investors, which is not without controversy. While some clubs are trying to benefit from the financial means, there are also concerns about the influence and commercialization of football. In Germany, the 50+1 rule ensures that investors do not gain the sole influence, but the trend is clear: more and more clubs experiment with different financing models.

Ismaik's withdrawal could be a new beginning for the lions, in an environment that is becoming increasingly complex. The future remains exciting and the fans are asked to get involved and support their club to accompany the foundation of a new era.
