Defending Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg has fired coach Armin Veh after a nine-match winless streak in all competitions.
Wolfsburg dismissed Veh on Monday after only half a season at the club. The former Stuttgart coach took over last year after Wolfsburg won its first Bundesliga title under predecessor Felix Magath, who left for Schalke.
The decision followed a 3-2 home loss to FC Cologne on Sunday.
Wolfsburg has the top division's second-worst defense, conceding 38 goals in 19 games. The team is in 10th place with 24 points, 17 behind leader Bayer Leverkusen.
