Hannover’s players have been asked to disclose their sexual interests as part of a survey designed to help their coach understand them better.

The psychological test, to be undertaken on a voluntary basis by the Bundesliga club’s squad, includes statements such as: “I am what you could call sexually unrestrained”; “I want any sex I can get” or “I have a lot of erotic fantasies”, which players can evaluate on a scale of -3 to +3.

The club’s coach, Mirko Slomka, said he had already completed the 128 questions, and the players were free to see his responses if they wanted.
