goodbye in summer
Sandro Wagner leaves SpVgg Unterhaching. As the Bavarian regional league announced on Thursday, the former German national player will not extend his coaching contract, which expires in the summer.
“Manfred Schwabl (President) had the courage in spring 2021 to hire me as a coach and then even entrust me with the first team, although I had hardly any experience up to that point. I will always be grateful to him and the club for this trust,” Wagner said in a club statement.
Wagner started his club coaching career at the Spielvereinigung in 2021. With the U19s, the former striker of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and FC Bayern Munich made it into the A-Junior Bundesliga. For the 2021/22 season, the 35-year-old took over the first team, with which he is currently the leader in the Bavarian regional league.
Farewell to Haching: Wagner wants to step in “another direction”
“I learned an incredible amount during this time: about myself, about working with a great team and about what I still want to learn as a coach,” said Wagner. He left open what his future looks like – but announced a step “in a different direction”. “I will announce what this looks like in the near future. I would like to give the club the opportunity to find a successor in peace through early communication,” said Wagner.
President Schwabl regrets Wagner’s decision. In a club statement he said: “Of course it’s a great pity that Sandro is leaving us in the summer. On the other hand, it also makes me proud that we were able to discover and help develop this coaching talent, which is clearly part of the Hachinger path. I wish Sandro all the best and I’m totally convinced that he will have a great coaching career in the future. But first of all we want to do everything we can to crown our joint successful path with the regional league championship.”
