Wolf, who worked alongside Peter Hermann as caretaker coach of the Werkself from March to June 2021, held a workshop in the press conference room at the BayArena. The youth coaches from the German double and Supercup winners listened carefully to the contribution from the 43-year-old with the subject of training in youth football the focus of the evening.






The main subject of discussion was the training philosophy in Germany and a look at youth development in other countries such as England and France. The session was rounded off with a joint discussion of how the input from Wolf can be used to develop players at Bayer 04.
