“When filling the coaching position, it was important to me that we not only find someone quickly, but above all engage a coach who can develop VfL Wolfsburg in the long term and bring it forward. So I’m very pleased that we were able to convince Niko of our path and win him over for VfL. He stands for consistent and success-oriented work and I am convinced that the team will bear his signature in the years to come,” said VfL Managing Director Jörg Schmadtke.
Most recently, Adi Hütter was also traded as a candidate. After the last game of the season (5-1 win against Hoffenheim), the man from Vorarlberg announced that he and Borussia Mönchengladbach had agreed to end their cooperation. In addition, there was speculation that Matthias Jaissle would be committed. However, the German recently signed a new contract with Red Bull Salzburg. In any case, Kovac should continue the successful work of Oliver Glasner at the Volkswagen Club.
