Pressure is increasing: FC Augsburg under massive fire after defeat against Stuttgart!

There is a lot of rumblings in the Bavarian capital: FC Augsburg is in a deep sleep after another defeat. Last weekend, coach Sandro Wagner's team lost 2-3 against VfB Stuttgart, despite being in the lead twice. Dark clouds hang over the coach's head because the euphoria surrounding his arrival has long since evaporated. How World reports, sports director Benjamin Weber urgently demands points – and very quickly.

Things are currently looking anything but rosy for Augsburg: after four competitive defeats in a row, the team is still above the relegation place, but only on goal difference. The next hurdle will be Hamburger SV, who will come to the stadium after the international break. The fans are already dissatisfied and are giving vent to their displeasure, which can be seen in the banners that criticize the club management and Wagner.

Criticism and disappointment

Wagner himself was disappointed after the defeat, but he also emphasized the solidarity within the team. Player Anton Kade made it clear that the defeat was not necessary and that they actually played well. Despite the setbacks, the club management seems to want to stick with Wagner. An immediate separation is not an issue, even if the pressure from Weber has noticeably increased.

How Statista shows, coaching changes in the 1st Bundesliga have had a long tradition since the 1963/1964 season, although the frequency of changes varies greatly over the years. Some coaches are currently in a similar predicament to Wagner, which raises questions as to whether FC Augsburg is on the right path.

The coming challenges

On Saturday against HSV we will have to see whether the Augsburg team can get out of their sporting crisis. Sports director Weber at least sees “progress against strong opponents” and is optimistic that the team can turn things around. The competition never sleeps, and the pressure on Wagner will probably not let up as long as the points are missing. The Augsburgers have to achieve the closest success to prove to their own fans and themselves that they can still have a say.

In the coming period it will be exciting to see how the situation develops for the Augsburgers. In addition to the sporting challenges, there is also the question of how long you can continue to trust the coach. Further information and developments can also be found at Sandro Paris.
