Overview

  • VfL Wolfsburg will not renew the contracts of Kevin Behrens, Bartosz Bialek, Niklas Klinger, and Bennit Bröger, while terminating Manuel Braun's agreement.
  • Kevin Behrens, whose tenure included limited playing time and a controversial homophobic remark, departs after one season with the club.
  • Bartosz Bialek's development was hindered by three severe knee injuries between 2021 and 2024, limiting his contributions to the team.
  • Athletic trainers Jimmy Lohberg and Georg Schulz, along with assistant coach Rainer Widmayer, are also leaving, signaling a broader technical reset.
  • The changes reflect Wolfsburg's focus on renewing its squad and staff to align with performance goals and organizational values.
