Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - The outgoing league manager Christian Seifert has ruled out a move to the German Football Association as the successor to President Fritz Keller.
"Never," said the head of the German Football League to the editorial network Germany (RND) when asked.
«And not because I have something against the DFB.
(...) But I wouldn't be in a good position, »said Seifert, who has announced his departure from the DFL for summer 2022.
The German Football Association is looking for a new president after Keller declared his willingness to resign after his Nazi settlement.
The contract of DFB General Secretary Friedrich Curtius is to be terminated, Vice President Rainer Koch no longer wants to run for re-election.
Seifert demanded that the association must take advantage of the opportunity presented by the change in personnel.
"The course has now been set for a fresh start at the DFB," he said.

The search for his own successor at the DFL is still ongoing, said Seifert.
«As soon as the person has been found, the question arises: When will this person be available?
And then there is an orderly transition, ”announced the 52-year-old, who also has no concrete plans for his own future.
"I am currently having inspiring conversations and, to be honest, I am enjoying it," he said.
There is “no fixed connection position yet”.
