Eleven competitive games without a win, falling to 15th place and now the duel with the bottom of the table – for coach Florian Kohfeldt from VfL Wolfsburg, the game against SpVgg Greuther Fürth will be the final.
“I don’t want to hide the fact that this game has an endgame character,” said sports director Jörg Schmadtke to local media: “But not just for the coach, but for everyone involved. This game will have a significant impact on the rest of the season. ” Schmadtke’s contract with the Wolves expires in the summer.
Since the factory club “is not an exorbitantly large distance from the relegation zone”, “results are needed,” said Schmadtke, who is basically satisfied with Kohfeldt’s work: “Our trust in the coach, in the coaching staff, but also in the team not broken yet.”
It is possible that Wolfsburg will still be active in the winter transfer market. “We’ll make improvements if it’s feasible. I can’t answer today whether we’ll do something,” said Schmadtke: “I would like a player to help us.”
A good striker would certainly help. Wolfsburg have been goalless in the last four Bundesliga games, and the former champions have never had a longer run without a goal in the Bundesliga.
