VfL Wolfsburg on the brink: Coach Simonis is under pressure!

At the moment, VfL Wolfsburg is facing a sporting crisis that is causing not only the fans but also those in charge to be very excited. After a disappointing run in the last seven games, in which the team suffered six defeats, the club is forced to question its own performance. In particular, the recent exit from the DFB Cup against Holstein Kiel and the 2-3 defeat against Hoffenheim have reignited the discussion about coach Paul Simonis. Current reports from n-tv describe that despite the critical situation, Simonis should stay for the time being and will be given another chance in the upcoming game against Werder Bremen.

The support for Simonis comes from both sports director Sebastian Schindzielorz and captain Maximilian Arnold. Arnold emphasizes that he believes in the coach's abilities and is convinced that Simonis can still reach the team. This is particularly notable as Simonis is the fifth head coach to take the helm since the departure of Oliver Glasner in 2021. A worrying signal for the club's management is the fact that concerns are arising about the team's sporting development, while the supervisory board, made up of current and former top managers from Volkswagen, will make the decision on the coach's future.

The last games in focus

The sporting setbacks cannot be overlooked. A look at the last games shows that the situation for VfL Wolfsburg looks anything but rosy. The exit from the DFB Cup was followed by the painful defeat against Hoffenheim. The TSG coach, Christian Ilzer, was also in similar discussions a little over six months ago, but has now achieved success. An example that could perhaps serve as an incentive for those responsible in Wolfsburg.

How will the team present itself in the next encounter on November 8th, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. in the LEAG Energie Stadium? It will be a crucial game that could potentially influence the direction of the club. The fans are excited to see whether Simonis can turn things around and thus secure his place in the coaching bench in the long term.

The support of sports director Schindzielorz cannot be overlooked. He emphasized that criticism is normal when results are lacking and highlighted the positive exchanges within the team. In such turbulent times, it is important that all players pull together and do their best to end the sporting misery.

The fans of VfL Wolfsburg can only hope that the upcoming game will bring about a turnaround and that the team will have the necessary strength to catch up and banish sporting fears. Until then, all eyes are on the coach and his team.
