CEO Alexander Wehrle sees VfB Stuttgart well prepared for a quick return in the event of relegation from the Bundesliga. “We’ll get an absolutely competitive team, if that’s the way it should be,” said Wehrle on “SWR Sport”. All players would also have signed contracts for the 2nd league. Top performers like Sasa Kalajdzic (24) and Borna Sosa (24) are always associated with other clubs.

The gap to Hertha BSC is four points and the lead to Arminia Bielefeld is two. Wehrle hopes that Stuttgart can at least hold 16th place in order to be allowed to compete in the relegation.
