2009. Coach Armin Veh was sacked, following a failure to reach the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League, and being distanced in Bundesliga. Under interim coach Lorenz-Günther Köstner Wolfsburg managed to finish inside the top half and reach the quarter-final in the UEFA Europa League. The most influential player was Edin Džeko
, who unlike the team, continued to perform at the top level, topping the Bundesliga's top scoring-chart.
