Surprise champions VfL Wolfsburg will have their maiden Champions League campaign to contend with in addition to the defence of their crown - the club’s first ever German domestic league title. New coach Armin Veh has sought to consolidate with Grafiti and Dzeko both signing contract extensions.

German giants Bayern Munich had a poor season by their standards, struggling domestically and exiting the Champions League at the quarter final stage, and coach Jurgen Klinsmann was relieved of his duties before the season was out in a desperate attempt to achieve Champions League qualification. The 2007/8 champions eventually finished runners up to Wolfsburg but another new Bundesliga coach, Louis van Gaal, will be expected to take the Bavarian side back to the top of the domestic league and into the last four of the European competition at worst. The securing of the services of Stuttgart’s top scorer Mario Gomez may assist on that front.

Vfb Stuttgart themselves finished third last year and will be hoping that the return of former Arsenal midfielder Alex Hleb on loan from Barcelona will inspire his colleagues to greater heights this time around. Another former Premier League star, Markus Babbel, will try to successfully balance training the team whilst also attempting to attain his coaching qualifications.

There are sleeping giants all through the Bundesliga and with Werder Bremen, SV Hamburg, Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Cologne not to mention Shalke 04 now led by Felix Magath who took Wolfsburg to glory last season. Freiburg, Mainz and Nurnberg all join the big boys from Bundesliga 2 this year.     

A Brief History

The German Bundesliga as it now is was formed in 1962 after many failed attempts to produce a professional German football league. FC Koln won the first championship season but the development of the league was hampered by the revelation that the 1970/71 season had been marred by match fixing. The subsequent investigation and resultant punishments handed out to individuals marred the reputation of the league and fans stayed away in their thousands. West Germany’s World Cup win on home soil in 1974 marked a revival in the game and German clubs started to attract players from further-a-field such as Kevin Keegan who joined from Liverpool.

The early 1990’s saw the reunification of East and West Germany and the new look Bundesliga once again rose in prominence. Unfortunately, the turn of the century brought another match-fixing scandal but the offenders including a referee were banned from the game and imprisoned. Despite the scandals that have dogged the German game, the Bundesliga has consistently been rated as one of the strongest leagues in world football producing successful teams and domestic players capable of winning both European Championships and World Cup. Fans continue to flock to games and it’s popularity now reaches all outposts of the footballing world.
