VfB Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß has been touted as a potential replacement for Arne Slot in recent weeks. Earlier this month, new reports arrived that VfB Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß is among the candidates Liverpool are considering if they part ways with Arne Slot.



After working his way up through the Bayern Munich youth system, he took charge of their reserve side and led them to the 3. In his first full season, Hoeneß guided Stuttgart to a second-place Bundesliga finish, their best in 17 years, and delivered Champions League football to the Neckar for the first time since 2009/10.

The following season, with many of the stars from that title push attracting interest from bigger clubs, he led the club to DFB-Pokal glory – their first piece of silverware since their Bundesliga title back in 2006/07 – beating third-tier Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 in the final. But despite his track record and the Liverpool links, Hoeneß is not being drawn into speculation and said in an interview with German outlet Kicker: “I am fully committed to VfB and want to continue to be as successful as possible.” Hoeneß is contracted to Stuttgart until 2028, and the Swabian club will likely fight hard to keep their man if Liverpool or any other clubs come calling in the summer.
