Hans-Peter Villis announced his resignation from the position of chairman of the board of directors and supervisory board of Bochum. The 66-year-old stepped down from the role due to health issues; his vacant position will be filled temporarily by Martin Volpers and Uwe Tigges.
Bochum have won just 1 point in their first seven Bundesliga games and the club responded to the crisis by sacking coach Peter Zeidler and sporting director Marc Lettau at the start of the week.
