Overview
- Strobl signed as Wolfsburg’s head coach on Thursday, June 4, 2026, on a contract that runs through summer 2028.
- The 38-year-old arrives from SC Verl, where he led the club to its best-ever sixth place in the 3. Liga and built a strong reputation as a developing coach.
- At his presentation Strobl rejected comparisons to high‑profile managers and said he wants to be his own 'best version' while focusing on assembling players who fit Wolfsburg’s character.
- Dieter Hecking, now Wolfsburg’s sporting director, endorsed Strobl’s energy and clear football idea and will lead transfer and roster work with the new coach.
- Concrete transfer moves remain unconfirmed as Strobl and Hecking prepare a substantial summer overhaul that will shape Wolfsburg’s bid for quick promotion and affect players, staff, and supporters.
