Wolfsburg hires Jonker in bid to stave off relegation
Print Edition
VFL Wolfsburg hired former assistant coach Andries Jonker as coach yesterday in a bid to avoid relegation.
The 54-year-old Jonker, who was last working for Arsenal’s youth team, signed a deal to take over with immediate effect until 2018 as Wolfsburg’s third coach of the season. The Dutch coach will take over from Valerien Ismael, who was fired on Sunday. Ismael’s predecessor, Dieter Hecking, was fired seven games into the season. Volkswagen-backed Wolfsburg, which won the Bundesliga title in 2009, is only two points above the relegation zone after 22 matches. Jonker has 12 league games to turn the club’s season around. Jonker previously worked as assistant coach to Louis van Gaal at Bayern Munich, taking over as head coach on an interim basis for five games in 2011 when his compatriot was fired. At Wolfsburg, Jonker worked under Felix Magath, Lorenz-Guenther Koestner and Hecking. He also had spells in the Netherlands and at Barcelona.
