However, just over three years later, Wolfsburg have now moved to take Jonker back to Germany with the 54-year-old becoming the club's new head coach - their third one of the season.

Jonker has previously had roles within the setups at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and the Dutch national team but this is the first time he has landed a high-profile managerial position on a permanent basis.
