“We are delighted that we have been able to recruit Sandro Wagner, a head coach for our FCA who lives and breathes football. Sandro is very ambitious and clearly dedicated to the direction of our FCA. In his previous positions he has already proven to improve teams and develop players. Sandro is also very careful with his emotions.
“It was my goal to work as a head coach in the Bundesliga. The discussions convinced me that the function at FC Augsburg was exactly the right step. FCA has a clear philosophy that fits my playing style very well. I look forward to working together,” says Sandro Wagner.
During his professional career, Sandro Wagner made more than 300 competitive performances, including for the German national team, FC Bayern Munich, TSG Hoffenheim and Hertha BSC. A decisive characteristic of the triple German champion and the double DFB Cup winner career was his collaboration with top coaches such as Julian Nagelsmann, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Niko Kovac and Jupp Heynckes.
