The search for the coach at the 1st FC Köln has an end: Paderborn coach Lukas Kwasniok should be about to engagement with the Bundesliga promoters.

The successor to two-game promotion coach Friedhelm Funkel at 1. FC Köln seems to have been found. According to information from “Sport Bild”, those responsible for the association are said to have committed themselves to Paderborn coach Lukas Kwasniok as top favorites.

Kwasniok is said to have convinced Cologne sports director Thomas Kessler in “intensive conversations” of himself and his vision for the club. Kwasniok is only released from his work in Paderborn. His contract runs until 2026, so a transfer is due for the 43-year-old-there is talk of around one million euros.

Kwasniok leaves Paderborn after four years and actually announced that it would take a break. The fourth place in the table this season was the best placement under Kwasniok.
