VfL Wolfsburg has responded to the downward trend. After the 1-2 home defeat against Hamburger SV, head coach Daniel Bauer and managing director Peter Christiansen have been dismissed. Bauer’s successor has already been decided.

According to information from 'kicker' and 'Sportbild', Dieter Hecking will once again become the Wolves’ coach. Under Hecking, Wolfsburg won the DFB-Pokal in 2015. Now, he is expected to secure their place in the league.

After the latest defeat, the Wolves remain in 17th place and are in acute danger of relegation, while the gap to safety could widen even further this matchday. 

Wolfsburg’s last victory came on January 14th against FC St. Pauli.
