VfL Wolfsburg: Florian Kohfeldt “firmly convinced” of whereabouts

Talks with Wolfsburg leadership

In all likelihood, Florian Kohfeldt will also be on the bench as a coach at VfL Wolfsburg in the coming season. “The conviction is there, I’m quite sure of it,” said the 39-year-old after the 1-1 draw at VfB Stuttgart, which saw Lower Saxony finally secure their place in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

There were talks with the superiors and more would follow, reported Kohfeldt. “We are driving forward the planning together and I have the feeling that we will start the new season in this constellation. I’m firmly convinced of that.” Shortly before, Wolfsburg’s managing director Jörg Schmadtke had made a similar statement on the “Sky” microphone.

Kohfeldt, whose contract with Lower Saxony runs until 2023, succeeded the dismissed Mark van Bommel at VfL in October. However, the Champions League participant did not get the curve and instead slipped even further. With an average of 1.08 points after 26 games, Kohfeldt does even worse than his predecessor, who scored an average of 1.15 points in 13 games with VfL. After 32 Bundesliga matchdays, the “Wolves” are in twelfth place with 38 points – their worst result of the season since 2017/18.
