Bundesliga club VfB will also be looked after by interim coach Michael Wimmer in the away game at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday (3.30 p.m.).
This was announced by VfB sporting director Sven Mislintat after the confident 6-0 (4-0) win in the second round of the cup against second-division bottom Arminia Bielefeld. This is “not a big secret,” Mislintat said after the game on Sky. Wimmer spoke of a “vote of trust from the club. I’m happy about that.”
VfB sacked Pellegrino Matarazzo last week. His assistant whimper the Swabians already had on Saturday against VfL Bochum (4:1) to their first league win of the season.
“Luxury problem”: Mislintat takes the time to look for a VfB coach
For Mislintat, this is a “nice luxury problem. It buys us time to find the best possible solution.” The Dane Jess Thorup (currently without a club) and the former Hoffenheim coach Alfred Schreuder (Ajax Amsterdam) are traded as candidates. But Wimmer is definitely “part of the solution,” said Mislintat. Wimmer emphasized that he would help “until a new one is here”. This is a “clear agreement” with Mislintat.
He doesn’t bother with other scenarios, the 42-year-old added modestly, although he collected some arguments with the two clear victories.
