Wolfsburg Coach Tobias Strobl Faces Former Club SC Verl in Friendly Match

As the new head coach of Wolfsburg, Tobias Strobl is set to face his former club, SC Verl, in a friendly match. This encounter holds a special significance for both Strobl and new signing Alessio Besio. The match, scheduled to take place on Saturday, will be the last test before the team's training camp in Weimar. The game will kick off at 14:00 on the A-Platz outside the Volkswagen Arena, and fans can watch it live on site or via the commented livestream on Wölfe TV's YouTube channel. Strobl's connection to SC Verl is not just limited to his past; he actually initiated the arrangement for this match. During his time as Verl's trainer, the team had played against top-tier clubs like Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Köln in the pre-season. Strobl recalled asking his team manager, 'Why can't we get such opponents?' The manager then arranged matches against Wolfsburg and Leipzig, but by that time, Strobl had already left the club. Looking back, Strobl shared this anecdote with a smile, highlighting the interesting turn of events that has led to this upcoming match against his former team.
