VfB Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß is being courted by a bigger club, according to a transfer expert. A departure from Stuttgart is likely to happen soon. Hoeneß has been instrumental in the club's success, and his good work in the region has caught the attention of top clubs in England and Spain. "Hoeneß will be highly sought after on the island," reported Bild reporter Christian Falk in the show "True or not true." "There were already inquiries from the Premier League during the previous season, but not the top tier." This has changed with the recent interest of FC Liverpool, although the Reds ultimately chose the Spaniard Andoni Iraola (formerly of AFC Bournemouth). "He was on the shortlist with coaches who were discussed," Falk described. But Hoeneß has a good reputation not only in England. "He was also on the list at Real Madrid, behind José Mourinho," said the transfer insider. "So you see: Sebastian Hoeneß is getting closer to the top clubs. He is in Stuttgart, has no exit clause, and wants to work there next season. But eventually, it will be serious for him at a big club." Hoeneß joined VfB Stuttgart in April 2023 and formed a top team from the former relegation candidate. ## More on this: ## VfB Stuttgart: Sebastian Hoeneß a candidate for FC Bayern? In the past season, VfB Stuttgart again qualified for the Champions League as a fourth-placed team in the Bundesliga. The Stuttgarters also reached the DFB Cup final, which they lost 0:3 against FC Bayern. By the way, FC Bayern: Hoeneß is also being traded at his former club. Honorary President Uli Hoeneß recently confirmed at DAZN that his nephew would be a candidate for the coaching position at the German record champion. However, he hopes that incumbent Vincent Kompany will remain for "five or ten years," said the club patron of FC Bayern.
