Wolfsburg have parted company with sporting director Klaus Allofs following the club's disappointing start to the 2016-17 campaign.
Allofs joined Wolfsburg in November 2012 and oversaw the club's development from a relegation candidate that season to DFB-Pokal winners and Bundesliga runners-up in 2014-15.
However, Wolfsburg have failed to build on those successes and sit 15th in the table following their 5-0 battering at the hands of Bayern Munich at the weekend, signalling the end for Allofs.
"Following extensive analysis over the past few weeks, we came to the conclusion to make a change in his position due to the precarious sporting situation, in the hope of making a fresh start," chairman of the board of management Francisco Javier Garcia Sanz told Wolfsburg's official website.
