Is there a big managerial change on the horizon in the Bundesliga? Reports from BILD and SPORT BILD suggest that Sebastian Kehl (44) is a top contender for the position of new Sports Managing Director at VfL Wolfsburg! Currently a Sports Director at Borussia Dortmund, Kehl’s contract runs until 2025. Whether it will be extended and under what conditions is now in the hands of the new Sports Director, Lars Ricken (47).
With potential developments at Borussia Dortmund, Kehl may be looking at a new opportunity in the Bundesliga! VfL Wolfsburg and owners Volkswagen are in search of a new Managing Director to replace Marcel Schäfer (39), who is poised to move to RB Leipzig. The club has considered Hoffenheim’s Alexander Rosen (45) and World Cup winner Sami Khedira (37), but reports indicate that Kehl is a leading candidate for the position.
While negotiations may not take place until after the Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid on June 1 at Wembley, it seems that talks with Kehl could heat up soon. The focus for now remains on the key match for Kehl, but Wolfsburg is gearing up to pursue concrete discussions once the game is over. The club and Volkswagen have reportedly put other options on hold to focus on sealing the deal with their preferred candidate, Kehl.
