Overview
- Wolfsburg fell 2-3 at home to Hoffenheim, extending a winless home run and intensifying pressure on head coach Paul Simonis.
- Sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz said Simonis will remain on the touchline for Friday’s match in Bremen.
- Earlier reporting suggested U19 coach Daniel Bauer could serve as an interim, though that scenario has not been confirmed by the club.
- Mohammed Amoura scored twice for Wolfsburg, while Wouter Burger netted a brace and Grischa Prömel added one for Hoffenheim; an Ihlas Bebou goal was later overturned by VAR.
- Only 19,078 attended as protests and recent criticism followed the midweek DFB-Pokal exit to second-tier Holstein Kiel, with senior executives Peter Christiansen and Schindzielorz also facing pressure.
