Coach change at Wolfsburg: Bauer takes over after Simonis' exit!
After the coaching change from Paul Simonis to Daniel Bauer, Wolfsburg faces challenges in the Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Coach change at Wolfsburg: Bauer takes over after Simonis' exit!
After just four months, Paul Simonis is over at VfL Wolfsburg. The decision to dismiss was made on Sunday evening, two days after a 2-1 defeat against Werder Bremen. In a total of ten league games, Simonis, who came to Wolfsburg as the reigning Dutch Cup winner, was only able to achieve two wins. The team was also eliminated from the DFB Cup in the second round against Holstein Kiel. Sports director Peter Christiansen spoke of a difficult but necessary decision because ultimately results and points counted. His assistants Peter van der Veen, Tristan Berghuis and Martin Darneviel also had to leave with Simonis. Daniel Bauer, who previously coached the U-19 team, is now taking over on an interim basis and is supported by Julian Klamt and Tobias Holm. Bauer had already looked after the team last season after Ralph Hasenhüttl's departure and got four points from two games.
What awaits us now? VfL Wolfsburg faces an important game against Eintracht Frankfurt, and fans can be curious to see whether Bauer can stabilize the team. Dennis will take a closer look at Frankfurt's strikers in a conversation with Jens Henrich. The focus now is on getting out of the current crisis and collecting the next points. Some critics believe that the coaching change has achieved little so far. The discussion about the team's recent performances will certainly continue intensively in view of the upcoming encounter against the Hessians, including in the upcoming episode of "Behind the Back Number", where Volker Rechin and Aaron Zehnter will have their say.
Positive news from the women's department
Bauer and his team will lead training on Monday and the hope remains that they will quickly get back to their old strength. Next Friday, November 28th, will see the release of episode 16 of the popular podcast, in which Aaron Zehnter will talk about his move from Würzburg to Wolfsburg. Interest in VfL remains high and fans are looking forward to the upcoming games.
In summary, the statistics show that coaching changes in the Bundesliga have been a frequent phenomenon since the 1963/1964 season. This season, Wolfsburg's decision could be just one of many changes that will bring a breath of fresh air to the league. Whether Bauer has the necessary skills will become clear in the next games – there is something to be done, both for the men and for the women.
