🚨 No interest in Wolfsburg! Reports: 2. Bundesliga boss extends deal | OneFootball

VfL Wolfsburg have had a — to put it positively — modest week. After losing the relegation play-off and the resulting drop from the Bundesliga, the Lower Saxony side now have to cope with the next piece of bad news.

According to matching reports from 'Bild' and 'Sky', Wolfsburg were very keen to bring in Tim Walter as their new coach for the mission of winning immediate promotion back to the top flight. In the last 24 hours, the club is even said to have pushed hard for the 50-year-old.

But the effort appears to have been in vain: according to both sources, Walter has turned the Wolves down. Instead, he is extending his expiring contract with Holstein Kiel.

The long-time HSV coach took over the relegation-threatened Storks in February and ultimately guided them comfortably to safety in the 2. Bundesliga. His contract, which initially ran until the end of the season, is therefore set to be extended. The official announcement is likely to follow soon.

Wolfsburg, meanwhile, are left empty-handed and will have to continue their search for a coach elsewhere. What a nightmare of a week...
