The top bodies of the 1st FC Köln are said to have spoken out in the coaching question for Lukas Kwasniok. That reports “Sky” and the “Geissblog”. According to this, the members of the joint committee voted for a transfer of the former Paderborn football teacher after a meeting on Sunday evening. Negotiations between the Bundesliga promoters and Kwasnioks Management should also lead to a written agreement promptly, it said.
A few days ago, the “Sport Bild” already reported that Kwasniok was the favorite among Cologne. Accordingly, Kwasniok and FC sports director Thomas Kessler had “intensive conversations” in which the coach is said to have convinced the lead. Candidates such as Urs Fischer, Christian Eichner (Karlsruher SC) and Magdeburg coach Christian Titz were previously traded for the job in Cologne-Müngersdorf.
Kwasniok actually had a break in my head, but probably got a number of inquiries. He no longer wanted to go to the second division, he said. A Bundesliga location Cologne is more apparent to the former Paderborn. However, the climber for Kwasniok would have to pay a transfer fee, since he got out of an ongoing contract in Paderborn. There is speculation of a sum of two million euros.
The Cologne team had not come together 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.
