Bundesliga club Wolfsburg dismissed manager Ralph Hasenhüttl on Sunday, following a 4-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund. The decision, prompted by a string of poor results, sees interim coach Daniel Bauer take charge as Wolfsburg, now 12th, aims to reverse their slide from European contention.
Wolfsburg announced Hasenhüttl’s sacking, citing “results in recent months” after losing six of their last eight matches and securing only two wins since January. The Austrian, who replaced Niko Kovač in March 2024, previously managed Southampton for four years. Once in the race for European spots, Wolfsburg’s decline to 12th in the Bundesliga table sealed Hasenhüttl’s fate.
Wolfsburg, the 2009 Bundesliga champions, confirmed that under-19s coach Daniel Bauer will temporarily lead the team. The club faces pressure to stabilise performance and reclaim its competitive edge in the league.
