Coach Steffen Baumgart is planning his future at 1. FC Köln. The head coach, whose contract runs until June 30, 2023, assumes that the contract with the Bundesliga club will be extended.
“We are in exchange and there is no time pressure. I’m looking forward to next year. It’s clear that I want to stay here,” said the 50-year-old to the TV station “Bild”. Baumgart explained that he had no inquiries from other clubs either. “My statements are too clear for that.”
After the 3-1 win in the Rhenish derby at Borussia Mönchengladbach, he and his team want to continue to take advantage of the opportunity to participate in international business with 1. Köln.
“It’s clear that you won’t lose sight of this goal,” said the FC coach. However, one should not become too euphoric.
“We don’t know what’s going to happen in the summer. We’re also arousing desires when it comes to players. There could be a change. We’re not in the best financial situation either. We have to continue to stabilize in the Bundesliga,” explained the Cologne coach.
