Both VfB as well as Huddersfield Town had reason for massive celebrations at the end of the 2016/2017 campaign. After a year in the '2. Bundesliga', the Cannstatt Boys made their immediate return to Germany’s top-flight. Huddersfield Town, coached by German trainer David Wagner, overcame Reading FC in a nail-biting play-off penalty shoot-out to claim a place back in England’s top-flight after a 45-year absence.
On Tuesday, August 1st, the newly promoted sides clash in a pre-season test friendly. Kick-off in Jenbach/Tirol is set for 17:00 CET. The game not only sees two newly promoted clubs from their respective leagues go head-to-head, but also two former colleagues: VfB coach Hannes Wolf and Huddersfield’s David Wagner were both previously active as youth team coaches with Borussia Dortmund.
