Former Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has been named new coach of VfL Wolfsburg.

The Austrian takes charge after the sacking of Nico Kovac.

Wolfsburg are currently in fourteenth place on the Bundesliga table.

It is unclear how long the new head coach's contract is - but VfL describes it as a long-term deal.

Furthermore, Wolfsburg announces that Hasenhüttl will be officially presented, with an accompanying press conference, on Monday.

The Austrian has been without a club since being sacked by Southampton, who were then playing in the Premier League, in November 2022.

Hasenhüttl has previously also been head coach of RB Leipzig.
