Lukas Kwasniok said: “I had thought about taking a break. When Thomas Kessler contacted me, it was immediately clear to me: If I got the opportunity to work in Cologne, I really want to do it. It is an insane club and a huge chance. It will certainly be a great feeling for the first time in the Bundesliga. Those a sensation. “
FC sports director Thomas Kessler said: “Lukas Kwasniok has impressively demonstrated in Paderborn for several years that he can develop teams, have attractive and successful football playing and young players can bring young players to higher tasks.” This should now also succeed in the Bundesliga at FC. “We are convinced that we found the right trainer with him to further develop FC in the Bundesliga and to stabilize sustainably.”
