🚨 Will he stay at Wolfsburg? Decision on Hecking made | OneFootball

Following relegation, VfL Wolfsburg have begun planning for the upcoming 2. Bundesliga season. The Wolves announced an important decision today. Dieter Hecking will continue working for the second-division club in the future, albeit in a different role. 

He will take up his new position as Managing Director of Sport on June 1 and will no longer serve as head coach. Hecking has signed a contract with the Green-Whites until 2028 and will be responsible for men’s and women’s football as well as the academy in the sporting department, the club writes. 

"The trust and appreciation shown to me by the club, the supervisory board, and especially by Diego Benaglio and Pirmin Schwegler mean a great deal to me. For me, the main question at first was whether I wanted to continue working as a coach or saw my future as an executive. Having made this decision with full conviction, I am very much looking forward to the major task that lies ahead of us, even though it will bring many challenges, and even if, to be completely honest, the relegation is still weighing on me. What will be important now is to create a positive atmosphere at the club as quickly as possible so that together we can approach the issue of the second division with the necessary mix of humility, courage, and conviction," Dieter Hecking is quoted as saying in the press release.
