Mark van Bommel did not last long on the Wolfsburg bench. The negative streak of eight consecutive games without a win led to the dismissal of the Dutch coach in the Bundesliga as a whole, This was made public by the club owned by Volkswagen this Sunday. The former culé Van Bommel, who had inherited the position of Oliver Glasner in summer, He barely lasted three months on the bench of Sevilla’s rival in the Champions League.
“In the end, there were more factors of separation than of union”, explained the sports director of the ninth-placed Bundesliga, Jörg Schmadtke, in the official press release. “There was a lack of everyone’s conviction to get out of the difficult sporting situation that is taking place and turn around as quickly as possible, which led us to make this decision. We wish Mark all the best in his sporting and private life, “he stressed.
Van Bommel himself did not take the dismissal too well: “I am surprised and disappointed by the decision, because I am convinced that together we could have managed to get back on the path of success. I wish the team to quickly reverse this situation “, was quoted in the official statement. Kohfeldt (ex Bremen), Terzic (Dortmund manager) and Tedesco (no team) are the favorites to take over.
