VfL Wolfsburg will part ways with coach Niko Kovac, according to media reports. The separation will be officially announced later today.

The ambitious Volkswagen club is only in 14th place in the Bundesliga table. Bo Svensson, Ralph Hasenhüttl and Matthias Jaissle have been discussed for weeks as possible successors by summer at the latest. The lead over the relegation place shrank to six points thanks to FSV Mainz 05's win against Bochum.
