Overview
- BILD reports that sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth signed a new VfB contract extending to 2029 that includes a reported salary increase and no exit clause.
- The club’s supervisory board is said to have approved the extension after prolonged negotiations that delayed an earlier planned July announcement.
- The omission of an exit clause follows the precedent set in coach Sebastian Hoeneß’s 2025 contract and is described by reporting as a deliberate signal to players.
- Coverage links the renewal to the wider turnaround under Wohlgemuth and CEO Alexander Wehrle, citing rapid sporting gains and a large reported rise in squad market value.
- The reports are currently sourced to a single outlet and lack wider official confirmation so the next developments to watch are a club statement and any contractual details released by VfB.
