VfB sporting director Sven Mislintat after the game in Dortmund yesterday said, “We have made a very firm decision to go into the winter break with Michael Wimmer. After that, we will conduct discussions properly and with the necessary time needed to make a big decision like this. Michi will be one of three candidates. The margin of today’s defeat hasn’t changed our thinking in this regard.”
Michael Wimmer had taken over as interim coach, when head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo was relieved of his job a few weeks ago.
