Despite the 5-0 defeat at BVB
Michael Wimmer will remain coach of VfB Stuttgart until the winter break. This was confirmed by sports director Sven Mislintat on Saturday after the Swabian Bundesliga club lost 5-0 at Borussia Dortmund. “We made a relatively conscious decision to continue with Michi up to this game and we can say very clearly that it will last until the winter break,” said Mislintat on “Sky”. So far, Wimmer has found the “right trigger points” in the team.
“We will tackle the two remaining weeks together and then make a clean decision during the winter break with plenty of time, just like VfB Stuttgart has actually done in recent years,” explained Mislintat and also gave Wimmer hopes of a permanent position as head coach. On the VfB website the manager was quoted as saying: “We made a very clear decision to go on winter break with Michael Wimmer. After that we will conduct the talks very cleanly and with the necessary time for a top decision. Michi is then one of three candidates. The extent of the defeat does not change our rating.” A successor is being sought for the released Pellegrino Matarazzo.

The 49-year-old Mislantat had not previously said who the two top candidates should be, it was recently reported about the clubless Dane Jess Thorup and Alfred Schreuder from Ajax Amsterdam. But Schreuder recently stated that he was not interested in a job at VfB.
VfB Stuttgart is counting on Michael at least until the winter #Whimper as head coach. After the 15th matchday, the question of the coach should be discussed and decided. #VfB | https://t.co/KKGy15Qugf
