🚨 Chaos continues: 2. Bundesliga club split with squad planner | OneFootball

Despite the surprising 3-2 victory against Hertha BSC last weekend, things continue to be turbulent at VfL Bochum!

The Bundesliga relegated team, currently ranked only 17th in the table, and squad planner Johannes Waigand are parting ways with immediate effect. On Friday morning, the Westphalians announced a "mutual separation." Waigand's contract will only be officially terminated at the end of the season, but the collaboration ends now. 

The reason given by VfL was "different views regarding the direction of the sporting management." The 35-year-old had only taken up his position in June of this year.

Explosive: It was only in mid-September that Bochum parted ways with coach Dieter Hecking and managing director Dirk Dufner. Waigand was considered a close confidant of Dufner and now, barely a month later, also has to leave.

So, there is still no peace at Castroper Straße! At least: The club intends to announce a successor solution shortly.
