Sandro Wagner to FC Augsburg? FCA negotiates with coaches according to reports
That would be a Bundesliga hammer: like the football portal Ligainsider reports, FC Augsburg is in negotiations with Sandro Wagner. Accordingly, the current coach of the national soccer team could take over the head coach post in Augsburg in the summer. Wagner had already announced that after the final four tournament in the Nations League (June 4th to 8th), the national team team team no longer belongs.
Since then there has been speculation where Wagner’s path could lead. One of the traded clubs was TSG Hoffenheim. According to information from the sports broadcaster Sky There were negotiations, but Wagner canceled his ex-club. The TSG later denied the reports that Wagner wanted to be signed. Is Augsburg the first Bundesliga coaching station for the 37-year-old?
Rumor about Sandro Wagner: Criticism of Thorup within FC Augsburg
As reported, FCA trainer Jess Thorup is apparently not undisputed within the club. FC Augsburg plays a good second half of the season (sixth in the second half of the season), but most recently there were four winless games and three defeats in a row. Above all, the games against Holstein Kiel (1: 3) and VfB Stuttgart (0: 4) opened the weaknesses of the FCA. According to information from our editorial team, the style of play recently led to internal criticism. Sometimes the FCA presented itself too discouraged as in the 0-1 defeat in the cup against Stuttgart. Sometimes he was punished for his courage as in the home game against Kiel. It is also a point of criticism that young talents like Mert Kömür get too little playing time.
Wagner is considered a trainer talent. So far, he has not only demonstrated his clear communication style and the exact analyzes at his stations at Unterhaching and as an assistant coach of the national team, but also as a TV expert. He also knows the Bundesliga, played 180 games for Darmstadt, Hoffenheim and FC Bayern and scored 44 goals. He also comes to eight caps. So far, the FCA has not commented on the rumors.
