Wolfsburg coach Ralph Hasenhüttl reportedly faces an immediate exit in the wake of a run of eight Bundesliga games without victory.

Sporting managing director Peter Christiansen and sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz were reportedly meeting to discuss the situation in the wake of Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund.
Wolfsburg have slumped to 12th in the standings in the long winless run with six defeats and two draws and no longer are in contention for a place in Europe.
Austria's Hasenhüttl took the helm at the 2009 champions Wolfsburg in March 2024 and kept them in the top flight. This season's aim was to play for a European berth.
Hasenhüttl has a contract until 2026 but it already appeared clear before the weekend that Wolfsburg would part ways with him after the season.

UEFA Nations League: Mbappé nets 50th goal for France in third-place match
Kylian Mbappe helped France win the Nations League third-place match as Les Bleus rallied from a lethargic start to defeat host nation Germany 2-0 in the tournament's consolation match. Aurelien Tchouameni set up Real Madrid teammate Mbappé to score his 50th international goal just before the break after Germany had dominated the first half. Mbappé set up substitute Michael Olise to seal the result in the 84th after a much-improved second-half performance from the visitors. Mbappé's 50 goals is now just behind Thierry Henry (51) and Olivier Giroud (57) in the all-time men's scoring list for France. "If you look at the first half, honestly, they were not bothered winning. But they still won," Germany captain Joshua Kimmich said. France coach Didier Deschamps had made his lack of enthusiasm for the game clear the day before, noting his team had little to gain from playing it, and it was apparent which side was more motivated in front of the Stuttgart fans. "The game is there, we'll play it," Deschamps had said. France was without injured Paris Saint-Germain stars Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola. Germany missed a host of chances then had Deniz Undav's equalizer ruled out for a foul by Niclas Fullkrug in the buildup. Both sides were forced to play for the consolation prize after losing their semifinals. Germany lost 2-1 to Portugal on Wednesday before France lost 5-4 to European champion Spain on Thursday. Spain was playing Portugal later in Munich. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

🚨 Reports: Club's second-biggest deal, Jobe Bellingham joins the Bundesliga
The next Bellingham is on his way to the Bundesliga. After Jude left Borussia Dortmund to collect titles with the Royals, his brother Jobe is now heading to Germany's top league. He will follow in his brother's footsteps and also join the Black and Yellows. Dortmund has thus won the transfer battle against Eintracht Frankfurt. The Hessians were also reportedly in the race. Advertisement As transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports, BVB has reached an agreement with Sunderland. He gave his famous "Here we go." 'Sky Sports' also confirmed the agreement. Bellingham was actually contracted to Sunderland until 2028, which is why a high transfer fee is due. According to media reports, AFC is calling for 33 million euros plus bonuses. This would make him the club's second most expensive transfer after Ousmane Dembélé (35 million euro transfer fee). What do you think about Bellingham's decision?

Russell Westbrook Could Receive Historic Offer From EuroLeague Team
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This NBA offseason is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet — potentially packed with record-breaking action and plenty of movement. For the seventh straight season, the league will see a different champion crowned, marking the longest such streak in NBA history. More NBA news: Hall of Famer Don Nelson to Wear Luka Doncic Shoes in Protest of Mavericks Trade That kind of parity has given nearly every team a sense of hope heading into next season. With belief spreading across the league, expect a flurry of blockbuster moves and major roster shakeups as teams look to capitalize on what feels like a wide-open championship window. NBA commissioner Adam Silver is certainly getting what he wants, and while many are opposed to it, a great deal can change in the coming months. Nonetheless, a ton of players will be on the move, and one name that could fall under that category is former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook. Not only will NBA teams have their eye on Westbrook, but so will EuroLeague powerhouse Hapoel Tel Aviv. According to European basketball reporter, Nemanja Zoric, Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to make Westbrook an offer "never before seen in European basketball."

Russell Westbrook #4 of the Denver Nuggets reacts after dunking the ball against the LA Clippers during the fourth quarter in Game Seven of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Ball Arena on May 03, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. More Photo byEuroCup Champions Hapoel Tel Aviv are expected to make Russell Westbrook an offer 'never before seen in European basketball' 👀 (via @zoric_nemanja) — Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) June 4, 2025 Fresh off capturing the EuroCup title, the Israeli club is aiming high as it gears up for its first appearance in Europe's top-tier competition — and they've reportedly set their sights on the 2017 NBA MVP. While the chances of Westbrook leaving the NBA remain slim, Hapoel Tel Aviv could try to change the conversation by making a serious push. Westbrook holds a $3.4 million player option for next season, and after putting together a solid campaign, there's a chance he bets on himself and tests the market. The nine-time All-Star is coming off a solid season, as he averaged 13.3 points per game, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from three in 75 games in his first season with the Denver Nuggets. Westbrook is clearly not the same player he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder; nevertheless, he does the little things at times that contribute to winning basketball. We saw that last season with the Nuggets at times, and we'll see if another team gives him a fair shot. The former UCLA product has just completed his 17th season in the league, having played in 1,237 games. Westbrook is undoubtedly on his way to Springfield when all is said and done.
