Media: VfL Wolfsburg extends contract with captain Arnold - Wolfsburg's Simonis Future Uncertain After Poor Results and Key Injury
Wolfsburg's head coach Paul Simonis faces an uncertain future after a string of poor results. The team's recent defeat and captain Arnold's contract extension have added to the turmoil. The team's recent defeat to Holstein Kiel in the DFB-Pokal has deepened the crisis. The team now faces a crucial match against TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday. A loss could spell the end for coach Paul Simonis, who took over in June 2025. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract, Simonis' position seems precarious. Adding to the team's woes, right-back Joakim Mæhle has suffered a serious shoulder injury in training. He will be out for the coming weeks, leaving a significant gap in the squad. Meanwhile, VfL Wolfsburg captain Maximilian Arnold has extended his contract, which was set to expire in summer 2026. Arnold, who has played for the club for 16 years, remains a symbol of stability amidst the turmoil. The team's performance in the upcoming match against Hoffenheim will be crucial in determining the club's future direction.
