The remaining programme from VfB Stuttgart

After the 0:6 debacle in Augsburg and the dismissal of trainer Markus Weinzierl, VfB Stuttgart is still in 16th place. The rest of the VfB programme can be found here at SOCCERSCORE.

The appearance of the Stuttgart-based company resulted in the end of Markus Weinzierl. “We have stressed several times that it was our clear wish to bring the season to a successful conclusion with Markus Weinzierl and the coaching team. After the extremely disappointing match in Augsburg, however, we came to the conclusion that we had to re-evaluate the situation and that a clear cut was absolutely necessary in order to stay in the league,” said Thomas Hitzlsperger, Sports Board Member: “We didn’t make this decision easy for ourselves, but in the end VfB’s success is above all else and we had to act accordingly.

The people of Stuttgart have a heavy remaining program ahead of them. With Gladbach and Wolfsburg, VfB will have to play against two teams fighting for international business. On the last matchday the Swabians will play against their direct competitor from Gelsenkirchen.

VfB’s last victory was a long time ago. On March 3, the Swabians won 5-1 against Hannover 96.

VfB Stuttgart is six points behind the 15th from Gelsenkirchen. The Swabians still have a three-point lead on the direct relegation place.
