The Club Board
Wolfgang Overath has been president since June 2004, the 8th president in the history of 1. FC Cologne.
He is assisted by Vice Presidents Friedrich Neukirch and Jürgen Glowacz. The AGM in 2005 saw the management trio confirmed in office with an overwhelming majority – just as it was when they took up office after the extraordinary general meeting on June 14, 2004. The goal of the board is to re-establish 1. FC Cologne permanently in the Bundesliga in the medium term. The new term of office runs over the statutory period of 4 years – up to the AGM in 2009.
