Wolfsburg (the head coach Bruno Labbadia)
Three years ago (2015) under the leadership of one of the most experienced German experts Dieter Hecking the hosts of Volkswagen–Arena have won a vice-champion title, of course, after the champion Bayern.
However, next season Wolfsburg has taken the eighth position, that is, wasn’t included even into the list of participants of the Europa League. Of course, all former achievements of Dieter Hecking were immediately forgotten and he has been dismissed. And since then the coaches of the Greens were following each other and this is happening even now. The French coach Valérien Ismaël, Dutch Andries Jonker and the Swiss expert Martin Schmidt came and left very quickly.
Now the champion of Germany 2009 is headed by the German goal-scorer Bruno Labbadia who was very famous some time ago. His career as a coach contains Leverkusen Bayer, Hamburg and Stuttgart with which the new coach of Wolfsburg hasn’t achieved considerable progress.
Schalke (the head coach Domenico Tedesco)
We will remind you that for the whole last season the hosts of the forthcoming match were fighting for survival but at the last minute they have avoided a fate of Hamburg and Cologne and after the victory in two-legged tie with Kieler SV Holstein have managed to stay in Bundesliga.
And now, at the beginning of the new championship, according to the calendar schedule, Bruno Labbadia’s team is facing the meeting with the vice-champion. It is well known fact that the intrigue of the champion race in Germany is not relevant for a very long time as from year to year Bayern steadily wins The Silver Salad bowl.
But the spring race for the second position, that is, for a vice-champion title, has come ended with the final victory of the Miners. Domenico Tedesco’s team has much better spent the final part of the last season than the rivals and after the victories over Borussia Dortmund (2:0), Augsburg (2:1) and Eintracht (1:0) became the vice-champion.
