VfL Wolfsburg: Niko Kovac uses the international break for a break

Wolfsburg’s coach is on vacation

Niko Kovac advocates time-outs for coaches during international breaks. “We laugh in Germany because we don’t know it,” said the VfL Wolfsburg coach, among other things, to the “table football” and the “Wolfsburg General Newspaper“. In England, on the other hand, this is “normal”. “This must also be introduced in Germany,” he demanded. The Croatian coach will recover until Friday and will not lead the training of the “Wolves”.

The time gained through the Bundesliga break is “perfect for a coach,” said the 51-year-old. Kovac had been planning a vacation for a long time. The assistants around brother Robert Kovac and Aaron Briggs represent him. From the 29-man squad, twelve professionals are currently on international duty. To prepare for the game against Champions League participants Union Berlin on September 16 (3:30 p.m. / Sky), Kovac will start training again.
