Match10 Apr 2027

Nobody wins at VfB Stuttgart

14 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Match10 Apr 2027

10 unbeaten for VfB Stuttgart

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation VfB Stuttgart did not have in the autumn.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Bilal El Khannouss beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The terraces12 Apr 2027

VfB Stuttgart supporters have found a favourite in Dženan Pejčinović

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Dženan Pejčinović has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match10 Apr 2027

Jamie Leweling sends VfB Stuttgart past Borussia Dortmund

It finished 1‑0, and it was Jamie Leweling’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to VfB Stuttgart.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

Jamie Leweling was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.20. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

The team sheet said everything about Chris Führich

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Chris Führich.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

When it matters, Angelo Stiller plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Christoph Schwarz: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

Squad8 Feb 2027

The knee: Chris Führich out for 25 days

25 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. VfB Stuttgart lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

VfB Stuttgart baulk at the price for Maxime Estève

RB Leipzig wanted more than $20.6M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market8 Feb 2027

Josha Vagnoman puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at VfB Stuttgart, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market8 Feb 2027

The Union Berlin deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Ramon Hendriks reports back to VfB Stuttgart with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

The window shuts on the Justin Njinmah deal

VfB Stuttgart ran out of time with Werder Bremen. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Bilal El Khannouss was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 27. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market8 Feb 2027

Michael Olise wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at VfB Stuttgart hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Chris Führich stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Chris Führich and VfB Stuttgart agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match6 Feb 2027

Nobody wins at VfB Stuttgart

9 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.
