🚨 Second chance in Germany! Reports: Sandro Wagner lands new job

🚨 Second chance in Germany! Reports: Sandro Wagner lands new job The love story between FC Augsburg and Sandro Wagner did not last long. After just a few months, his stint came to an end in December 2025 after 148 days, 14 matches, and only four wins. In Augsburg, he failed to live up to the high expectations. Now he is getting a new chance as head coach, this time in the 2. Bundesliga. As reported by ‘Kicker’ and ‘Sky’, Wagner is set to take over at Hannover 96. The Lower Saxony club had dismissed coach Christian Titz after a poor start to the season following the 1–2 defeat to Nuremberg. Hannover see themselves as promotion contenders, so four points from the first five matches were not enough for the bosses around Jonas Boldt. According to the ‘Neue Presse’, Wagner will take over after the match against Bochum and is expected in Hannover on Monday. Before Augsburg, Wagner worked as head coach of SpVgg Unterhaching and then served as assistant to Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann with the national team. Hannover supervisory board chairman Martin Kind appears enthusiastic about the 38-year-old. He said Wagner brings personality and star power, and that he can convince players and bring them along with him. That is what Kind told ‘Bild’ about his impression from the talks with Wagner. 📸 Christian Kaspar-Bartke - 2024 Getty Images Despite the poor start, expectations for the new coach for the rest of the season are clear. As reported by the ‘Neue Presse’, he was told in talks that he could work without immediate pressure to win promotion. Wagner himself, however, does not want to settle for mediocrity and still sees promotion as the declared goal. A major tactical overhaul would probably not be necessary. A data analysis by ‘Sportschau’ suggests that Wagner’s aggressive, vertical style of football would suit Hannover 96’s squad. By the way, Hannover 96 will not have to pay a transfer fee. Wagner terminated his contract with FCA after being dismissed. What do you think: Is Sandro Wagner the right man to lead Hannover back to the Bundesliga? Feel free to write it in the comments!
