Maria KeaneCoach Pellegrino Matarazzo is said to be in danger of being eliminated from VfB Stuttgart. Sven Mislintat strengthened the 44-year-old’s back after the recent defeat.
As the picture reports, Matarazzo’s job is seriously jeopardized if he fails again. Only wins would help him. Also the Stuttgart News reported growing doubts about the Swabian coach.
Alongside VfL Bochum, Stuttgart is the only Bundesliga club that hasn’t won after eight games. With a meager five points, VfB is in 16th place in the table.
Nevertheless, sports director Mislintat strengthened his coach after the 2:3 defeat on Saturday at VfL Wolfsburg. Matarazzo was “not part of the analysis,” Mislintat said.
VfB defender Pascal Stenzel is also certain that the turnaround will succeed with the current coach. “Our coach has been with us for almost three years now. I’m convinced that we’ll have more successful times again,” said the 26-year-old.
On Sunday Stuttgart will face Union Berlin, a week later the duel with Bochum is on the agenda.
