Tobias Strobl is the new head coach of VfL Wolfsburg. The club, recently relegated from the Bundesliga, announced the news just a few moments ago via 'X'.

The 38-year-old joins from third-division side SC Verl and is tasked with leading the Wolves back to the Bundesliga after relegation. Strobl takes over from Dieter Hecking, who, as announced a few days ago, will become the Lower Saxony club’s new managing director for sport.
