VfL Wolfsburg sporting managing director Jörg Schmadtke has admitted that his relationship with head coach Oliver Glasner 'is not the easiest'.

"You could say so," admitted Schmadtke in an interview with Rheinische Post.

Earlier in the season, rumors circulated that their relationship was beyond repair. Now, however, the two of them have "a normal, professional relationship," Schmadtke went on to emphasize.

"We have exchanged ideas and accept each other's roles."

Currently sitting third in the Bundesliga table, Wolfsburg have exceeded all expectations this season.
