In a statement, Matarazzo said that, "These were intense and wonderful years with many incredible moments and memories that will stay with me forever. I will be eternally grateful for the chance I was given here to gain a foothold in the coaching business.”
“The VfB is something special that you only understand after you are a part of it. I wish this team, this club with these fans, all the best and maximum success.”
Stuttgart face Bochum in a massive relegation-zone battle on Saturday.
