The 2022-23 campaign saw VfL Wolfsburg, under the new leadership of manager Niko Kovac, secure a respectable 8th-place finish in the Bundesliga as Die Wölfe established a reputation for disciplined, hard-working football. Leading the scoring charts were the joint top scorers Yannick Gerhardt and Jonas Wind, whose 6 goals each were vital in a season defined by spectacular high-scoring victories, including a 6-0 demolition of SC Freiburg and a 5-0 win over Hertha BSC. It was a year of steady progress and tactical consolidation at the Volkswagen Arena that saw the club narrowly miss out on European qualification on the final day, marking a significant step forward in their modern era.
