Sandro Wagner starts with great destinations as a coach of FC Augsburg!

Augsburg, Deutschland - A new wind blows at FC Augsburg: Sandro Wagner officially appears as a new coach today. The 37-year-old, who most recently worked as an assistant to national coach Julian Nagelsmann, is now facing the challenge in the Bavarian football landscape. Wagner's performance will take place on Monday at 11:00 a.m. in Augsburg, where he will present his goals and visions for the team. In the same afternoon he will lead his first public training.

With Wagner, a former professional comes to the sidelines that has a remarkable career. It all started at the age of three at FC Hertha Munich, followed by the move to the youth academy of FC Bayern Munich, where he finally gave his professional debut. In his time as a player, Wagner played over 300 competitive games and hit the net 44 times in 180 Bundesliga games. He was part of championship celebrations and DFB Cup victories, and now he returns to the field with fresh ideas to give the FCA a more offensive way of playing, as antenne Bavaria.

Wagner's philosophy and goals

Wagner brings a clear game philosophy based on high intensity. "Relaxed, openly and honestly" he describes his approach, which should be both communicatively and in a strong instruction. The FCA managers are convinced that he can increase the radiance of the association with his ideas, and expect the team to develop further in the coming weeks and months. He also signed a contract until June 30, 2028, which underlines the long -term plan of the association to develop under Wagner's management.

Even in working with his predecessor, Wagner only has to report positive things. Managing Director Michael Ströll was pleased to comment on the obligation, and Wagner himself sees the talks as a decisive factor that convinced him of the right decision. "The clear philosophy of the FCA fits my game idea," says Wagner, who is now enthusiastic about developing with the team.

First steps on the square

The first test game under Wagner's director will be against TSV Gersthofen next Saturday. The fans can be excited to see how the new style of play unfolds in practice and which impulses the trainer can set. Wagner's experience that he has gained as head coach of the U20 national team and his former stations will certainly benefit him.

The responsible people of FC Augsburg are optimistic about the future. Wagner, with his numerous starting points from his previous career, has become strong for the position and would like to grow together with the club. As also reported bundesliga.com, the task at Augsburg for Wagner is the next big step. It will soon be shown whether the expectations will be met and the FCA can climb new heights under its leadership.
