Wolfsburg keeper Marius Müller confirms spat with club boss Peter Christiansen | OneFootball

VfL Wolfsburg keeper Marius Müller – after taking a tough loss in his first competitive start of the season – confirmed that he had a heated argument with club managing director Peter Christiansen. The 32-year-old remains seriously unhappy with the direction of the club and let Christiansen know about it. Germany’s green company team have won two, drawn two, and lost four matches through eight 2025/26 Bundesliga matchdays. 

“It’s fine by me [if you print my words],” Müller said in response to an enquiry from Germany’s Kicker magazine. “I have no problem with that at all. I’m a fan of addressing things in a clear and straightforward fashion, particularly when one is in a sporting situation such as ours.“

Kicker reports that the heart of the dispute between Müller and Christiansen concerns the fact that both he and VfL squad captain Maximilian Arnold have been  airing their frustrations publicly. The Wolfsburg boss would prefer that such statements remain privately conveyed within the locker room. 

“We didn’t interpret [the league win against Hamburger SV last Saturday] properly,” Müller – never one to mince words – told Kicker. “We didn’t get it. We thought that the tide had turned and that we would easily beat Kiel during the week and then everything would be fine. No, that’s not how it works in football.“

“One can’t do much more than kick everyone’s asses over the course of the week,” Müller remarked Tuesday after the DFB Pokal loss to Holstein Kiel. “One has to teach them what winning means, what it takes to win.”
