MOSCOW, Oct 11 Domenico Tedesco, former head of Spartak Moscow, is among five candidates for the vacant position of head coach of the German football club Stuttgart, according to Bild. On Monday, Stuttgart announced the dismissal of American specialist Pellegrino Matarazzo, who has led the team since December 2019. Tedesco was fired from Leipzig in September. In addition to Tedesco, Austrian Adi Hütter, German Sebastian Hoeness, Swiss Gerardo Seoane and Dutchman Peter Bos are among the candidates for the vacancy. Previously, the German publication Bild reported on Stuttgart's contacts with the former head coach Germany national team Joachim Loew. According to the source, the 62-year-old German turned down an offer to work as a consultant, as he is considering returning to work only as a head coach. Tedesco, 36, has been with Leipzig since December 2021. Previously, the German specialist headed the Moscow “Spartak”. Under his leadership, the Red-Whites took second place in the Russian Championship (2020/21). Stuttgart, with 5 points in nine matches, is in the penultimate place in the German Championship standings.
