Print Edition
Relegation-troubled VfL Wolfsburg has hired Bruno Labbadia as head coach to replace Martin Schmidt, who quit on Monday.
The Volkswagen-backed club says it agreed yesterday to work with the 52-year-old Labbadia until summer 2019, and he was to take charge of his first training session in the afternoon. Wolfsburg managing director Tim Schumacher said, 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted that we could win Bruno Labbadia for the club. Now we have to look forward and approach our tasks with calmness and unity.鈥 Labbadia, a former striker, has previously coached Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart, and Hamburger SV among others. Schmidt resigned with 11 rounds of the Bundesliga remaining. Wolfsburg is just one point ahead of Schmidt鈥檚 former side, Mainz, in the relegation playoff place. The sides meet in a high-stakes clash on Friday. Schmidt took over on September 18 after Wolfsburg fired his predecessor Andries Jonker. He lost only five of his 19 Bundesliga games, but 11 ended in draws.
