“I’m looking forward to my new task at VfL Wolfsburg,” said Kraus. “When I was looking for a new challenge, the decision was made easy for me when I was given the opportunity to implement my ideas and experience at a very ambitious club. From the new season I would like to do my part to take the next steps with VfL in the youth field, to train players at a high level and to further optimize the cooperation with the first team.”
Ralf Kellermann, sporting director of the VfL Wolfsburg Women said, “Daniel Kraus has been working in the Women’s Bundesliga for ten years and has proven at all his positions that he can help players in their development.
