Wolfsburg 2010/2011 Home Shirt

WOLFSBURG – HOME SHIRT 2010/2011

VfL Wolfsburg, is a German professional sports club based in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony. The club grew out of a multi-sports club for Volkswagen workers in the city of Wolfsburg. The team plays in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system.

Wolfsburg have won the Bundesliga once in their history, in the 2008/2009 season, the DFB-Pokal in 2015 and the DFL-Supercup in 2015. Since 2002, Wolfsburg's stadium has been the Volkswagen Arena, which hosts 30,000 spectators.

The season in which this classic home shirt was worn, VfL Wolfsburg endured a nightmare season. They narrowly stayed up in the Bundesliga, in spite of signing internationally seasoned players Diego and Simon Kjær during the Summer window.

Despite being threatened with relegation in January when struggling, Wolfsburg sold key striker Edin Džeko to Manchester City in January. In February 2011, with Die Wölfe (The Wolves) hovering near the drop, manager Steve McClaren was sacked. 

Following a short stint with Pierre Littbarski in charge, the club's 2008/2009 championship-winning manager Felix Magath, who had just been sacked from Schalke 04, returned to the club. 3 wins in their last 4 games was enough for Wolfsburg to stay just two points above Borussia Mönchengladbach in the relegation-playoff zone.

Edin Džeko finished the season as Wolfsburg's top goal scorer with 10 in the league, despite leaving in January. Mario Mandžukić scored 8 in the league following Džeko's departure - not a bad pair of strikers!
