After a highly disappointing season that saw them finish well below expectations, VfL Wolfsburg has announced the appointment of a new head coach. Dutchman Paul Simonis has signed a contract with the Bundesliga club, based in the `Autostadt`, valid until 2027.
Simonis arrives at the Wolves having most recently managed Eredivisie team Go Ahead Eagles Deventer. He steps into the role previously held by Ralph Hasenhüttl.
Hasenhüttl was dismissed after the 32nd matchday of the recently concluded Bundesliga campaign, a decision made following a persistent run of unfavorable results. VfL ultimately ended the season in a disappointing eleventh place, significantly short of their initial goals and aspirations.
The key question now facing the club and its supporters is whether Paul Simonis possesses the ability to reverse the team`s fortunes and lead them back to success.
