Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg have apparently found they are looking for a new coach. According to standard media reports, Nico Kovac will follow the ousted Florian Goffelt.
The decision was made Thursday in favor of the 50-year-old, according to local newspapers referring to Werksclub’s oversight committee. It was said that there were only final details that needed to be clarified with the Croatian. According to “Wolfsburger Nachrichten”, Kovac will receive the contract until 2025, so the confirmation will be announced on Friday.
Goa is said to have topped the list of candidates for the 2009 champion. His straightforward and very decent work style fits perfectly with the Wolfsburg profile. It was not immediately clear if he would like to return to the Bundesliga. He is said to want to go to the English Premier League. The official announcement of the coach’s staff has not yet been received from VfL.
Kovac last cared for AS Monaco for a year and a half. A native of Berlin, he was relieved of his duties at the French League 1 club earlier this year.
