Ljungberg and the Arsenal connection saving Wolfsburg from relegation

The former Gunners winger is an assistant at the Bundesliga side, who are being led by the London club's former academy manager

ANALYSIS

When Wolfsburg kicked off their 2016-17 Bundesliga campaign, they did not expect it to go like this. Star striker Bas Dost set up the opening goal in a 2-0 win over Augsburg on the first weekend of the season. The following day, Dost was on his way to Sporting Lisbon for €10 million.

After that, everything went downhill. It took nine more league games before they registered another win. During that time, they were hammered 5-1 at home to Borussia Dortmund and embarrassingly lost 3-1 to now-relegated Darmstadt.
