Serious personnel changes have taken place at "Wolfsburg", which is having a difficult time in the German Bundesliga. The club management has dismissed head coach Daniel Bauer due to unsatisfactory results.
Idman.Biz reports that, along with Bauer, the club's sporting director, Peter Kristiansen, has also been dismissed. This decision was made after the team's 1:2 defeat to Hamburg in the last round at home. The 43-year-old specialist, who has been in charge of the team since November 2025, was unable to prevent the decline in the tournament table.
The club management announced that they have entrusted the mission of keeping the team in the Bundesliga to 61-year-old Dieter Hecking. Hecking is no stranger to Wolfsburg fans. He led the "Wolves" from 2012 to 2016, and during this period he wrote the brightest pages of the club:
- 2015: German Cup winner
- 2015: German Super Cup winner
- 2015: Silver medals in the Bundesliga and a ticket to the Champions League
Currently, "Wolfsburg" is in a very dangerous situation in the Bundesliga. With nine rounds left to complete the championship, the team's indicators are as follows:
- Place: 17 (among 18 teams)
- Points: 20
- Last 3 games: 3 defeats
Hecking's debut match will be on March 14 against Hoffenheim on the road. It remains to be seen whether the experienced specialist will be able to keep the team in the Bundesliga, where they have been playing since 1997.
