Allianz MTV Stuttgart is a German professional volleyball team based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg.

In 2020, sports director was Kim Renkema whereas managing director was Aurel Irion.[1]

For the 2020-21 season, Stuttgart re-hired Athina Papafotiou and also kept Krystal Rivers who had been an important building block. Further, the Dutch girl Hester Jasper (18) joined from German Women's Volleyball League competitor VfB Suhl. The attacker signed a two-year contract. Yet, Stuttgart had to cope with the departure of Annie Cesar, who left to get more playing time.[1]

As of 2021, the head coach has been Tore Aleksandersen[2] who replaced 2020 coach Giannis Athanasopoulos.[1]
