Kohfeldt succeeds Van Bommel as trainer of Wolfsburg

The German first division team VfL Wolfsburg has appointed Florian Kohfeldt as its new trainer. He succeeds Mark van Bommel, who was fired on Sunday. The 39-year-old Kohfeldt signed a contract with the club of Koen Casteels, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Aster Vranckx and Dodi Lukebakio until 2023. Kohfeldt has been without a club since his departure from Werder Bremen in May of this year. There he was head coach since 2017 and an assistant for two years before that.

Wolfsburg sacked Dutchman Van Bommel after a run of eight games without a win. The team is in ninth place after nine matchdays in the Bundesliga with 13 points.


Bostyn in goal at Zulte Waregem

For Zulte Waregem, the cup competition is a goal in itself year after year. Last season, however, Essevee lost ingloriously to Olympic Charleroi in the 1/16th finals. Francky Dury now wants to avoid a repeat of that scenario on RWDM. He selected his entire A-squad, except for the injured Joost van Aken. Hubert and Vigen, who were still missing at KV Mechelen, are fit again. Boya, who was suspended for two games, has also been called up. Most likely, Louis Bostyn, who lost his place in goal to Sammy Bossut in recent weeks, will start under the bar at the Machtens Stadium. (LUVM)
