VfL Wolfsburg interested? Rumours swirl around Sebastian Kehl | OneFootball

After months of uncertainty about whether the partnership would continue, Sebastian Kehl extended his contract as sporting director of Borussia Dortmund until 2027 in January. Since then, there have been no major discussions about the 45-year-old. Now, however, Kehl is being considered as one of several candidates at VfL Wolfsburg.

VfL Wolfsburg has already placed coach Paul Simonis on leave. In response to a thus far deeply disappointing season, managing director Peter Christiansen and sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz are also reportedly on the brink, as they are held responsible both for the decision to appoint the inexperienced Simonis and for the evidently failed squad planning.

Wolfsburg is aiming for a major solution

According to a report by “Sport Bild,” Schindzielorz in particular appears to have no future in Wolfsburg. The paper already names several potential successors. These include the currently unemployed and immediately available Sven Mislintat and Jonas Boldt, who are said to have shown interest. At the same time, Wolfsburg is also said to be eyeing managers currently under contract elsewhere, such as Fabian Wohlgemuth (VfB Stuttgart), Christoph Freund (FC Bayern Munich), and long-time VfL professional Marcel Schäfer (RB Leipzig), making it clear that a major solution is being sought.

Kehl is also being considered, who took over as sporting director at BVB in the summer of 2022, succeeding Michael Zorc, and had previously served four years as head of the licensed player department. Kehl would also be a remarkable solution for the Wolves, though this is considered unlikely, not least due to the current sporting situation. In any case, BVB would have to give the green light, as Kehl is under contract until June 2027.
