Bundesliga - "No coach discussion": Schäfer strengthens Kovac in Wolfsburg

Even after the bitter cup defeat in Mönchengladbach, the club management at VfL Wolfsburg continues to stand by coach Niko Kovac. "There is no discussion about the coach," said sporting director Marcel Schäfer to the "Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung" (Thursday). "Niko is calm and objective in his analysis. There are a few issues that we need to rectify, that we need to improve as quickly as possible. But we'll tackle these points together."

Wolfsburg were eliminated from the DFB Cup against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Tuesday evening after conceding a goal in the last minute of extra time. The European Cup contenders are also in eleventh place in the Bundesliga after six away defeats in a row. Their next opponent is SC Freiburg on Saturday (15:30/Sky).
