Benaglio on Wolfsburg’s search for a new sporting managing director: “Most of the qualified ones are employed somewhere” It’s been nearly two months since VfL Wolfsburg sacked Peter Christiansen as managing director for sport , but the club have yet to appoint his successor. Supervisory board member Diego Benaglio, who is leading the process alongside chairman Sebastian Rudolph, has now provided an update, confirming that “good discussions” are underway, but stressing that finding the right candidate is more important than making a quick appointment. “It is important for us to find the right person.
It doesn’t help if we just act quickly to resolve the situation. We want the right candidate, and we are taking the time for that. But of course, we are not averse to things being settled a few days earlier,” Benaglio told Kicker.
He also revealed that Wolfsburg are considering several candidates currently employed by other clubs. “There are certainly candidates who already have a contract. It is very rare in this position to find many unemployed people on the market.
By nature, most of the qualified ones are employed somewhere,” he admitted. With Wolfsburg currently sitting in the relegation play-off spot, it remains unclear whether the club will be playing Bundesliga or 2. Bundesliga football next season.
