Ultimate boss? Many managers sacked after this Bundesliga clash | OneFootball

Officially, Paul Simonis is still the head coach in Wolfsburg. However, after his Wolfsburg team’s recent 2-1 defeat in Bremen, the Dutchman is in serious danger of losing his job.

He would already be the third coach this season to have to pack his bags after a duel against Werder. Previously, this fate befell Erik ten Hag (Leverkusen) and Gerardo Seoane (Gladbach). Is this a new trend, or has SVW long been a final boss for opposing coaches?

The Hanseatic team has actually been a tough place for embattled coaches for some time. According to statistics from 'transfermarkt.de', after a match in the German top flight against the Green-Whites, a coach was most often dismissed by the opposing team.

With the two most recent "victims," Werder has jumped to the top of this grim ranking with 13 dismissals. Matches against HSV (12 dismissals), Augsburg (11), Cologne and Schalke (10 each) have also been ominous for coaches’ job security.

This is followed by the quintet of Dortmund, Gladbach, Bayern, Mainz, and Hannover. In encounters with these teams, the performance of the opponents was so unsatisfactory nine times each that their coaches had to go.
