The winner of the 1990 World Cup Klaus Augenthaler has extended his contract with and will lead the team until 2009.
"We are very pleased to have extended our partnership with Klaus Augenthaler for another two years and will continue the work we started in early 2006," said Wolfsburg's general director Klaus Fuchs.
"I will do everything I can to move Wolfsburg forward," said the 49-year-old coach. "We want to improve step by step, so we will have to work hard. The next step will be to improve our creativity on the field and pay more attention to the attack."
K. Augenthaler took over the reins of the German club in December 2005, and the contract signed then was supposed to end this summer. Starting his coaching career as an assistant at Bayern Munich, the former German national team defender later worked as head coach of Nurnberg and Bayer Leverkusen.
At the halfway point of the German championship, Wolfsburg is in 12th place, but is second to last in terms of goals scored - the team players have only scored 12 times this season in the Bundesliga.
