VfL Wolfsburg

Felix Magath has been appointed as the new manager of Bundesliga side Schalke after agreeing to terminate his contract with Wolfsburg at the end of the season, ending weeks of speculation surrounding his future. Magath's contract with Wolfsburg will be terminated by mutual consent this summer. "I believe that there are good reasons for me to move to Schalke," said Magath at a press conference Wednesday. "I have made a considered decision which may hurt one or two people, but at the end of the day, it is the right one." He will hope to leave having guided the Wolves to a maiden Bundesliga title. "Out of all the candidates, we have the best prospects to win the title," admitted Magath. "We now have to concentrate fully on this big chance, on the possibility of achieving something that nobody would have dared say possible."
