- Tim Walter has been in charge since 25 February 2026 and he has brought back his trademark 'Walter-ball' for Kiel.
St. Pauli
- Marcus Mathisen is the leading scorer for St. Pauli in the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 1 game, while Branimir Hrgota has 1 assist.
- Marcel Rapp has been St. Pauli boss since 1 July 2026 and has fashioned them into an adaptive, high-press side that can pick teams off on their day when they can nick the ball before those patterns develop.
