West Ham United is delighted to announce the appointment of Tim Steidten as the Club’s Technical Director.

Tim Steidten was born on 27 April 1979 in Germany and is a German former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

In July 2023 he was appointed as technical director of West Ham United, having previously worked for Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen.

Steidten will be responsible for the Club’s overarching player recruitment strategy and scouting department, working closely with Manager David Moyes and Sporting Director Mark Noble.

The Technical Director role has been implemented as part of the Club’s continued growth strategy and comes at a key moment in West Ham United’s history, with the Hammers’ victory in the UEFA Europa Conference League earlier this month securing a third successive season in European competition.

One of the game’s most-admired football administrators, 44-year-old Steidten brings his own added experience of European football to East London, having previously fulfilled a similar role with Bayer 04 Leverkusen in his native Germany, at a time when the Hammers are enjoying a sustained period of success at both first team and Academy level.

Arriving at Leverkusen from Werder Bremen in June 2019, Steidten was responsible for overseeing a pivotal period in the Club’s history, with his data-led approach to scouting yielding some immediate positive results in the transfer market, recruiting a number of unheralded gems, before nurturing them into highly-coveted stars.

His arrival is set to complement the strong existing UEFA Europa Conference League winning squad on and off the pitch, with further significance.
