🚨 After 8 defeats in 9 games, reports: Bundesliga club sack the coach | OneFootball

After the 1-2 defeat against Werder Bremen, marking the eighth loss in the past nine matches, the management of VfL Wolfsburg has now pulled the plug on coach Paul Simonis, as reported by 'Sky Sports' and 'Bild'.

The Dutchman is said to have already been informed about his dismissal, and initial talks with potential successors are already underway.

According to 'Bild', one reason for the dismissal was that Simonis allowed squad decisions on match days to be dictated by boss Peter Christiansen.

Just a few months ago, VfL Wolfsburg had high hopes for Paul Simonis. After his cup victory with the Dutch first division club Go Ahead Eagles, the 40-year-old had earned an excellent reputation. Even the nickname "Gouda-Guardiola" was making the rounds.

However, the current performances of Wolfsburg have little to do with Guardiola. The highly talented million-dollar squad is in a completely disappointing 14th place in the table after 10 Bundesliga games. Depending on the outcome of the matchday, the Wolves could even slip further. The club also exited the DFB-Pokal in the second round against second division team Holstein Kiel. 

According to 'Bild' information, U19 coach Daniel Bauer could now become the interim coach.
