BERLIN (AP) - A former referee who was imprisoned for his part in a German match-fixing scandal nearly a decade ago is becoming technical director at a fourth-tier club.
Berliner AK 07 said on its website Saturday that 34-year-old Robert Hoyzer will work for the club on a voluntary basis and will be responsible mainly for marketing, sales and communication.
Club president Mehmet Ali Han said: “We should finally let the past rest and look forward together.” Berliner AK said Hoyzer’s main job is with a software company.
