Alongside Jess Thorup, Alfred Schreuder is the hottest coach candidate at VfB Stuttgart.
Jess Thorup or Alfred Schreuder – one of these two candidates will be the new coach of VfB Stuttgart.
At the weekend, Danish media reported that that Jess Thorup is about to get involved with VfB. The Dane, who was released from FC Copenhagen a month ago, is said to be loud in talks with Sven Mislintat and Alexander Wehrle picture-Indications have made “a convincing performance” – but the Swabians are still waiting to conclude the deal. Because: There is a second candidate.
Again table football reports, this is Alfred Schreuder, who is currently in charge of the Dutch top club Ajax Amsterdam. The Dutchman was on the coaching bench at TSG Hoffenheim in the 2019/20 season before becoming Ronald Koeman’s assistant at FC Barcelona. Earlier this year, he took over as head coach at Club Brugge, where he impressed so much that Ajax signed the 49-year-old to succeed Erik ten Hag.
The central question is, of course, whether Ajax would let Schreuder go again so quickly – and whether the coach would swap his job in Amsterdam, where titles and international business are the order of the day, for the coaching bench in Stuttgart. If not, Thorup should win.
Noisy picture a decision can only be expected after the cup game on Wednesday, possibly only after the Bundesliga game against BVB that follows.
