The Bundesliga would not be new territory for Kovac, but Wolfsburg would be his third coaching position in Germany’s bel étage after Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Bayern Munich. The 50-year-old also coached the Croatian national team for two years. He also gained a lot of experience as a player in the Bundesliga. Kovac made 241 first division appearances for Hertha BSC, Bayer Leverkusen, Hamburger SV and Bayern.
His commitment would come as a surprise to outsiders.
