Magath back at Wolfsburg
Berlin: Felix Magath returned as coach of VfL Wolfsburg on Friday, almost two years since he steered them to the Bundesliga title and just two days after his acrimonious split with Schalke 04.

Magath, who has a contract until 2013, was sacked by Schalke on Wednesday following a mediocre Bundesliga season and despite their Champions League last eight and German Cup final qualification.

“I would not have taken over any other club apart from Wolfsburg," Magath told a large crowd of reporters during his speedily arranged official presentation.

"It is difficult to take over at this stage. Time is running out."
