VfL Wolfsburg has announced the dismissal of head coach Daniel Bauer through their official X account, ending a tenure that started in 2024, as reported by Softfootball.
The Bundesliga club thanked Bauer for his dedication and contributions during his time in charge.
The club’s statement read:
Daniel Bauer relieved of duties: VfL Wolfsburg parts ways with its head coach. Thank you for your commitment and your passion for our club, Daniel. We wish you all the best from the bottom of our hearts for your future path! #VfLWolfsburg
This decision follows a challenging season for Wolfsburg, who are currently struggling to avoid relegation in the Bundesliga. The managerial shift is part of a broader restructuring within the club’s leadership.
The announcement of Bauer’s departure came just hours after the removal of sporting director Peter Christiansen, who was also put on leave after the recent match against Hamburger SV.
Recent losses have heightened scrutiny on both the coaching staff and the club’s leadership, prompting the board to take action in hopes of stabilizing performance and securing their Bundesliga position.
Amid these changes, Wolfsburg also announced positive news regarding experienced goalkeeper Pavao Pervan, who has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him with the club until June 30, 2027.
The new agreement ensures that the 38-year-old goalkeeper will enter his ninth season with Wolfsburg, having joined from LASK in July 2018. His experience is expected to be crucial as the team seeks stability during this turbulent time.
