VfB Stuttgart's search for a coach is focused on two candidates whose names have not yet been publicly announced. That's what Alexander Wehrle said before the Bundesliga game against VfL Bochum. In addition, the VfB CEO denied reports that there were discrepancies between him and sports director Sven Mislintat.

"We will have two talks with the two candidates, who we are convinced will accept the situation and develop VfB further," said Wehrle before the Bochum game on Sky. He further explained that the two candidates had not yet appeared on the public's radar. "We managed not to mention the names. We will make a decision promptly." (Quoted via kicker)

Wehrle commented on the alleged cancellations that the Swabians are said to have received from Domenico Tedesco, Zsolt Löw or Sebastian Hoeneß as follows: “Names were also traded that allegedly canceled us. They called us and were then maybe offended that we didn't have a conversation."

The CEO also rejected the reports that the internal climate between him and sports director Sven Mislintat was heavily burdened: "If we had a massive problem, how could we have handled 17 transfer activities?" Wehrle reiterated that a decision on Mislintat's future would be made by mid-November. The sports director's contract expires in the summer.
