Wolfsburg Poised To Appoint Pirmin Schwegler as Sporting Director After Reported Deal With Eintracht

Reports indicate a €500,000 fee to Eintracht Frankfurt for his release.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Wolfsburg and Eintracht have agreed terms for Schwegler to take the role, with formal confirmation still pending.
  • The move would fill the position vacated in November when Sebastian Schindzielorz departed, restructuring the sporting department under CEO Peter Christiansen.
  • Coverage cites a compensation payment of about €500,000 from Wolfsburg to Eintracht for releasing Schwegler.
  • Schwegler has served this year as Eintracht’s head of professional football and is a former club captain, making the switch less than a year after his return.
  • Wolfsburg’s search has stretched for weeks, with reported refusals from candidates Andreas Schicker and Marcus Mann before turning to Schwegler.
