Wolfsburg's crisis is getting worse: a change of coach is imminent!
VfL Wolfsburg is in crisis after a 2-3 defeat against Hoffenheim and is in danger of losing relegation.
Wolfsburg's crisis is getting worse: a change of coach is imminent!
The situation at VfL Wolfsburg is becoming increasingly dramatic. After the 2:3 defeat against TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday, the team is in 12th place in the table and is only three points away from the relegation place. In the current Bundesliga season, the club has only collected eight points after nine games. This represents a further low point in an already tense situation, as fussball-champions-league.com reports.
The fans are disappointed because Wolfsburg has not been able to celebrate a home win since January 2025. In the most recent game at the Volkswagen Arena, where only around 19,000 spectators were present, the team was unable to score despite two goals from Mohammed Amoura. Wouter Burger and Grischa Prömel were successful for Hoffenheim and secured sixth place for their team. The subsequent defeats, including the elimination from the DFB Cup against Holstein Kiel, put coach Paul Simonis under massive pressure.
Coach under pressure
Paul Simonis, who has only been in office for four months, is already facing loud criticism. He was only able to record two wins in the league and recently had to watch helplessly as his team ran more than five kilometers less than their opponents against Hoffenheim. Goalkeeper Marius Müller also addressed these serious differences in commitment, describing the attitude of his teammates as poor, reports n-tv.de.
In addition, sports director Peter Christiansen and sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz are also in the firing line. Their decisions regarding the composition of the squad, some of which have brought in players with little commitment, are seen as problematic. It remains to be seen whether there will be a coaching change in the near future, but rumors about possible successors have already become loud.
Outlook for the upcoming games
Wolfsburg has a chance to make amends in the next game. On Friday there will be a duel against SV Werder Bremen, followed by another difficult task in the home game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The pressure to score points in these games couldn't be higher, especially as the club hasn't celebrated a home win in almost a year.
The coming games will be crucial not only for the team, but also for the club's management. The winter break is approaching, and with it the opportunity to set the course for a better second half of the season. The DFB Cup games start at the end of August 2025, and the last matchday of the Bundesliga takes place on May 16, 2026, which means that time is of the essence for VfL Wolfsburg bundesliga.com.
