Wolfsburg appoint Paul Simonis as their new head coach
Wolfsburg has announced that it has appointed Paul Simonis as its new head coach, replacing Ralph Hasenhüttl. The Dutch head coach joins from Eredivisie side Go Ahead Eagles and signs a contract in the Autostadt until 2027. Several names had been linked with the vacant Wolfsburg job following Hasenhüttl's exit earlier this season.

In the league, Go Ahead Eagles finished seventh. On joining Wolfsburg, Simonis said: 'I can't wait to take on this challenge and work with the team, the staff, and the environment. I had very good and comprehensive discussions at a high level with Peter Christiansen, Sebastian Schindzielorz, and also with Sebastian Rudolph. This immediately gave me the feeling that this decision was the right step. I'm really looking forward to working at a top level in a very strong and exciting league.' This season, Wolfsburg finished 11th and since qualifying for the Champions League under Oliver Glasner in the 2020/21 season, the Autostadt side have finished 12th, eighth, 12th and now 11th. They have also gone through four coaches with Mark van Bommel, Florian Kohfeldt, Niko Kovac, and now Hasenhüttl all getting the sack, despite spending a ridiculous amount of money in the transfer market.

At the Wolves, Simonis succeeds Ralph Hasenhüttl, who was dismissed after the 32nd matchday of the past Bundesliga season due to continued lack of success. Ultimately, VfL finished the season in a disappointing eleventh place, once again falling far short of their own ambitions. Will Simonis be able to turn things around?
