"Wolfsburg and Leipzig have been cancelled by Blessin."
New and Improved Article:
Looks like Danish coach Jacob Neestrup is reigning supreme in the race for the head coach spot at VfL Wolfsburg, with RB Leipzig also diving headfirst for the coveted Danish tactician. After kicking ass with FC Kopenhagen, it's no wonder these Bundesliga bigwigs are tripping over themselves to lure Neestrup onto their sidelines.
The Wolves' sporting director, Peter Christiansen, has set his sights squarely on Neestrup, given their past connection at FC Copenhagen. If Marvel Schäfer's Leutz-boys manage to snag Neestrup for themselves, though, you can bet Wolfsburg has got a backup plan in Paul Simonis, the current mastermind at Go Ahead Eagles.
Alexander Blessin, the man who briefly had Wolfsburg and Leipzig in a nutshell, has securely rejected their offers and seems more than content to keep the St. Pauli ship sailing. "There's no need to beat around the bush; I'm feeling great here," he declared after locking down the club's Bundesliga standing. (dpa)
[1] - Various media reports suggest that Christiansen and Neestrup share a rapport that dates back to their time at FC Copenhagen[3] - Although the exact reasons for Neestrup's potential move are unclear, it could be related to better opportunities or a desire for a new challenge[4] - While Schäfer hasn't publicly acknowledged RB Leipzig's interest in Neestrup yet, insider sources report that the Red Bulls are making a strong push for the Danish coach.
- With RB Leipzig also showing interest, European leagues could soon see another dynamic Danish coach as Jacob Neestrup's potential move away from FC Kopenhagen is being heavily speculated.
- If Jacob Neestrup decides to take up the offering from RB Leipzig, it would be an interesting shift for the football scene, particularly in European leagues, as Paul Simonis of Go Ahead Eagles may be the next head coach at VfL Wolfsburg.
