Sandro Wagner is the new hope for FC Augsburg. At his first stop in the Bundesliga, the trainer should establish a fresh game culture. The former attacker already has a first desired player in view.
As “Sport Bild” writes, Sandro Wagner has thrown an eye on Florian Neuhaus from Borussia Mönchengladbach. At FC Augsburg, a transfer coup is already being worked on in the background.
The midfielder is still under contract in Gladbach until 2027, but was not really able to go under coach Gerardo Seoane.
Nevertheless, the transfer for the FCA will not be a sure -fire success. Neuhaus is to earn around four million euros per year on the Lower Rhine. According to the report, this cannot be financed financially for the Augsburg.
However, there is still hope that Borussia will meet the Fuggerstädters and take over part of the salary. How such a transfer model could look concrete is still unknown. It is also unclear whether Neuhaus can imagine the step to the FCA.
Sandro Wagner from the DFB team to FC Augsburg
What is already certain is the new course of the association: FC Augsburg wants to further develop its style of play under Sandro Wagner. The goal is attractive and technically high-quality offensive football.
In Neuhaus you can see a perfect player for this approach, according to the report. Midfield talent Mert Kömür could also play an important role under Wagner, according to “Sport Bild”. Because the further development of young players is another innovation that is to focus on Wagner.
FC Augsburg officially presented the 37-year-old on Wednesday as the successor to Jess Thorup. “The FCA has a clear philosophy that fits my game idea very well. I am a young coach who wants to develop together with the club. The framework conditions for this are excellent in Augsburg,” said Wagner.
At the moment, the former striker is still a co-coach of Julian Nagelsmann with the national team. After the National League finals, he leaves the DFB team at his own request and takes on his new task.
