The path is free and the last hurdle is: According to reports, the 1. FC Köln and SC Paderborn have agreed on a transfer fee for coach Lukas Kwasniok. This should be at around one million euros with bonuses. There is a unity between all involved. According to the “Express”, the FC was able to push the last 1.5 million euros down.
The Cologne top bodies are said to have previously pronounced the coaching question for Kwasniok. “Sky” reported on Monday. According to information from the TV station from Tuesday, the Bundesliga promoter and the coach, who got out of Paderborn, have also agreed on a collaboration. This was only an agreement with the Paderborners – which now took place.
Kwasniok actually had a break in my head, but probably got a number of inquiries. He no longer wanted to go to the 2nd league, he said. A Bundesliga location Cologne is more likely to irritate the outgoing Paderborn. However, the climber for Kwasniok has to pay a transfer fee because he left Paderborn prematurely. At first there was speculation of a sum of EUR 2 million. Candidates such as Urs Fischer, Christian Eichner (Karlsruher SC) and Magdeburg coach Christian Titz were previously traded for the job in Cologne-Müngersdorf.
The Cologne team had not met with their two-game promotion coach Friedhelm Funkel. The 71-year-old had canceled another commitment on his own, although he was initially not averse.
