Bundesliga soccer club VfB Stuttgart is starting the new season with coach Pellegrino Matarazzo and sports director Sven Mislintat and thus with an unchanged personnel constellation in the management positions. The Swabians announced on Thursday that this was the result of the seasonal analysis of the past few days. Among other things, with a view to the coming season squad planning and structural optimization options in the area of licensed players have been discussed.
CEO Wehrle wants to “stabilize VfB in the long term”
“With staying up in the league, the announced goal was achieved at the last minute with a great energy performance. All those involved deserve a big compliment for that. At the same time, we all agree that we can and must improve in various areas in order to stabilize and further develop VfB in the long term,” said CEO Alexander Wehrle. “We want and will achieve this goal together and with great motivation and embrace joy.”

Mislintat wants to fulfill contract
Mislintat had already made it clear immediately after the saving 2-1 win against 1. FC Köln that he wanted to fulfill his contract, which ran until 2023. Markus Rüdt, who is responsible for sports organization, also remains on board. And Coach Matarazzo was linked to other clubs after numerous clubs went looking for a coach after the last matchday. But leaving is not an issue. “We share a passion for VfB and the drive to lead this wonderful club into a successful future,” said Wehrle.
