VfB Stuttgart 2019/20 Review
News and Stats from the Bundesliga
Season Overview
VfB Stuttgart entered the 2019/20 Bundesliga season with high hopes after gaining promotion from the 2. Bundesliga. Under the guidance of newly appointed manager Tim Walter, the club aimed to establish themselves in the top flight of German football.
The season started promisingly, with Stuttgart winning their first two matches. However, they struggled for consistency throughout the campaign and eventually finished 16th in the table, just three points above the relegation zone.
Key Players
Despite their struggles, VfB Stuttgart had some standout performers in the 2019/20 season. Nicolas Gonzalez emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in the Bundesliga, impressing with his pace, skill, and goalscoring ability. Other key players included captain Gonzalo Castro, experienced defender Marc Oliver Kempf, and goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.
Managerial Change
Following a disappointing start to the season, VfB Stuttgart parted ways with manager Tim Walter in December 2019. Pellegrino Matarazzo was appointed as his replacement and tasked with guiding the club away from the relegation zone.
Matarazzo's impact was immediate, as Stuttgart lost just one of their remaining 15 Bundesliga matches under his leadership. The team played with renewed confidence and organization, and Matarazzo's tactical acumen proved to be a key factor in their survival.
Conclusion
The 2019/20 season was a challenging one for VfB Stuttgart. Despite some impressive performances from individual players, the team struggled for consistency and ultimately finished in a disappointing position. However, the appointment of Pellegrino Matarazzo as manager provides hope for a brighter future. With a talented squad and a promising young coach, VfB Stuttgart will be aiming to improve their fortunes in the 2020/21 season.
