Official | Sebastian Hoeneß extends contract at VfB Stuttgart until 2028
VfB Stuttgart have announced that head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has extended his contract at the club, as his future has been a hot topic in recent weeks.
Hoeneß has signed a one-year extension at the MHP Arena and takes his new contract up until 2028. The head coach had only extended his contract until 2027 last year.
On extending his contract, Hoeneß said:
“I am very pleased about the contract extension because I am convinced that we can still achieve a lot together. When I came to VfB almost two years ago, the sporting situation was challenging with us sitting in 18th place in the table. Nevertheless, the move to VfB felt like the right thing to do back then. And it feels just as right to extend the contract now.
The collaboration with the management team around Alex Wehrle, Fabian Wohlgemuth and Christian Gentner was very trusting from the start, and together we took a successful path after the relegation play-offs that led us all the way to the Champions League. We want and must continue to give our all at all levels within the club to achieve lasting success. This also includes developing and strengthening our team. We want to be able to permanently claim to be represented in international competition with VfB.
Now it is time to pool our resources for the final stretch of the season in the Bundesliga. And of course, we’re all looking forward to the semi-finals of the DFB Cup and are eager to take the final step to Berlin.”
Under Hoeneß, Stuttgart have avoided relegation, finished second in the Bundesliga and participated in the Champions League. His second season in charge has not been as easy with Stuttgart currently sitting in 10th, but the Swabians are in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals and have a real chance of their first piece of silverware in 18 years and a first DFB Pokal triumph since 1996/97.
Several clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and even Borussia Dortmund had been linked with Hoeneß as their future managers due to a release clause in his contract. According to kicker, the new contract removes the release clause.
Stuttgart had been linked to many head coaches when it came to replacing Hoeneß, but now that he has decided to stay in Bad Cannstatt, they can focus on cementing themselves, once again, as one of the top teams in Germany after several years of struggling.
