2010–11 Hamburger SV season

Season

In September 2010, Hamburger SV and FC St. Pauli played their first derby in eight years. The match ended in a 1–1 draw.

Hamburg club president Bernd Hoffmann had come under pressure for poor club results. Bernd Hoffmann came under pressure after Hamburg lost 4–2 to Bayer Leverkusen. A group of fans protested against recent results outside the club headquarters by demanding Bernd Hoffmann resignation. Head coach Armin Veh said Hoffmann should not be blamed and the coaching staff and the playing staff collectively should be blamed for the bad results. Supervisory board Horst Becker resigned on 13 December 2010 and stated that he would not seek re-election for the position.

Wigan Athletic contacted Hamburg about a possible loan move for Dutch winger Eljero Elia. Eljero Elia had fallen out of favour at Hamburg. Sporting director Bastian Reinhardt had confirmed that Wigan offered to take Elia on loan for half-a-season.

Ruud van Nistelrooy had confirmed that Real Madrid were interested in signing him. On 23 January 2011, Hamburg rejected a transfer worth more than €2 million plus a friendly match. President Hoffmann stated that Hamburg were looking to get back into Europe and it would be "impossible" to allow him to leave the club. It became publicly known that Ruud van Nistelrooy wasn't happy about Hamburg rejecting the transfer offer from Real Madrid and he has ruled out a contract extension with Hamburger SV.

In January 2011, Matthias Sammer rejected a job offer from Hamburg. The job would have been similar to the one he has with the German Football Association (DFB).

On 5 February 2011, Hamburg and St. Pauli fans fought each other after the match between the two clubs was postponed due to rain. Up to 200 hooligans threw bottles and fireworks at police. One person was arrested and 45 people taken into custody. The police had been expecting violence ahead of the derby. Police and stadium workers had discovered fireworks attached to seats in the stands of Imtech Arena in the days leading up to the originally scheduled match.

On 13 March 2011, the day after a 6–0 loss to Bayern Munich, Hamburg fired head coach Armin Veh and assistant coach Reiner Geyer. Michael Oenning was named interim head coach and Rudolfo Cardoso assistant coach. Originally, Veh was going to leave the club after the season.
