Thomas Hitzlsperger (born 5 April 1982) is a German director of football and former footballer who played as a midfielder. Since February 2019, he has been the head of sport of VfB Stuttgart.
As a player he spent the early part of his career playing for Aston Villa in England (accompanied by a short loan spell at Chesterfield), before returning to Germany to play for Stuttgart, where he won the Bundesliga in 2007. In 2010, he signed for Italian side Lazio, before moving back to England to join West Ham United later that year. He then had brief spells with Wolfsburg and Everton.
