Taking over from Florian Kohfeldt, the former Eintracht Frankfurt, FC Bayern and AS Monaco coach has signed a contract until 2025 with ‘Die Wölfe’.

Wolfsburg managing director for sport Jörg Schmadtke commented:
“In terms of filling the coaching position, it was important not only to find someone quickly, but above all to sign a coach, who can develop VfL Wolfsburg in the long term and take the club forward.
