VW sales chief's job on the line as carmaker reorganizes: sources

BERLIN/HAMBURG (Reuters) - Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) group sales chief Christian Klingler, an aide of ousted chairman Ferdinand Piech, could lose his job as part of a reorganization by the carmaker intended to boost profits, company sources said. Klingler's position could be axed as top players at VW draw up a new company structure to boost regional sales operations and make the group more nimble, two sources told Reuters. Europe's largest automaker, aiming to increase cost savings at its troubled core division to 5 billion euros ($5.6 billion) by 2017, is tackling trouble spots laid bare by the showdown in April between Piech and Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn, which triggered the shock departure of VW's long-time patriarch.
