Last Saturday he returned to the elementary school auditorium where it happened. His role this year: leader of a crack team of sergeants-at-arms policing misbehavior at the 2025 convention.

Ingo Schiller blickt auf eine über 30jährige Karriere im Sportbusiness zurück. In dieser Zeit war knapp sechseinhalb Jahre Leiter Marketing & Vertrieb bei Borussia Möchengladbach, und fast ein viertel Jahrhundert Geschäftsführer / CFO in Berlin bei der Hertha. Ausserdem war er ungefähr 9 Jahre lang Aufsichtsratsmitglied der DFL – der deutschen Fussballliga. Seit 2023 ist er selbstständiger Wirtschaftsmediator. Für mich besonders spannend war seine Beteiligung am Wechsel von Heiko Herrlich, damals noch in Diensten von Borussia Mönchengladbach zu «meinem BVB». Gerade in diesem Part des Interviews kommt mein Fandasein dann doch mal etwas intensiver durch – Die Kombi aus Möchengladbach und den Vereinsfarben der Hertha waren da wohl etwas viel für meine Schwarz-gelbe Fanseele
