VfL Wolfsburg Contemplating New Coach Following Ralph Hasenhüttl's Struggles
Wolfsburg Manager Hasenhüttl Faces Possible Termination - Coach Hasenhüttl of Wolfsburg before the match
Hey there! Let's dive into some juicy Bundesliga gossip. It seems that all is not gleaming for VfL Wolfsburg coach, Ralph Hasenhüttl. Multiple media outlets have been abuzz with rumors about his uncertain future with the team.
One of the most talked-about reports comes from "Sport Bild", suggesting that Daniel Bauer, the U19 coach, might take over for the final two games of the season. The uncertainty arises after a dismal 0:4 loss to Borussia Dortmund, a setback that squandered Wolfsburg's chances at a European spot.
Peter Christiansen, the team's managing director, and sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz, met the day after the upset to discuss the situation. Hasenhüttl, aged 57, has been with the team since March 2024, managing to secure them survival during his tenure. However, the team's ambition for a spot in a European competition has waned.
Reports suggest that the club may part ways with the Austrian coach Hasenhüttl when the season ends. Interestingly, the club is allegedly already hunting for his replacement.
But who could potentially take up the gauntlet?
Enter the Contenders:
Jacob Neestrup is the top contender currently on the radar, and there are reports that talks are in progress. Neestrup, who previously collaborated with Wolfsburg's sporting director Peter Christiansen in Denmark, is a popular choice to succeed Hasenhüttl, according to various sources.
Another potential candidate is Bo Henriksen, the former coach of Mainz and Young Boys Bern. While specific negotiations are yet to be confirmed, Henriksen's name has been floating around in recent updates.
Hasenhüttl himself acknowledged the possibility of his departure, stating, "Then it's time for someone else to give it a go". As of late April, Wolfsburg sits mid-table with four matches remaining in the season. So, even if it's gossip, we're keeping our eyes peeled for the drama to unfold!
