Trainer
Wagner Sandro
Jetzt ist es offiziell! Der FC Augsburg hat einen echten Trainer-Deal gelandet!
Sandro Wagner (37) wird nach BILD-Informationen neuer Trainer des Erstligisten. Nach dem Rauswurf des Dänen Jess Thorup (55) im Mai ging FCA-Geschäftsführer Michael Ströll (40) bei Wagner „all in“. Über das Wochenende wurden zahlreiche Gespräche geführt, Wagner für die Aufgabe in Augsburg begeistert.
Am Mittwoch soll der Vertrag bis 2028 unterschrieben und der Deal perfekt gemacht werden!
Völlig neuer Modus: Fußball-Revolution im Studio diskutiert!
Der Noch-Co-Trainer der Nationalmannschaft ist die absolute Wunschlösung der Augsburger. Er gilt als eine der heißesten Aktien auf dem Markt: Auch Wolfsburg war stark interessiert, zuvor erkundigten sich Vereine wie Leverkusen, Leipzig, Werder und Köln nach ihm. Auch aus England gab es Interesse.
Wagner war für Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann (37) extrem wichtig, hat einen engen Draht zur Mannschaft. „Sky“-Experte Didi Hamann (51) sagte über Wagner und ein mögliches FCA-Engagement bereits: „Sandro Wagner hat das Potenzial, in den nächsten drei, vier Jahren einer unserer besten Trainer zu werden. Er würde gut dorthin passen, es könnte heiß werden.“ Das wird es nun definitiv!
Bei der Wagner-Verpflichtung spielte der 8. Mai eine wichtige Rolle. An dem Tag sagte er seinem Ex-Klub Hoffenheim ab. Von da an beschäftigte sich der FC Augsburg intensiv mit dem Gedanken, Wagner zu holen.
[–>Zunächst musste aber die Saison-Analyse mit Thorup geführt werden. Der Däne hatte den FCA zwar stabilisiert, im Endspurt jedoch präsentierte sich Augsburg schwach. Die Punkteausbeute (Platz 18 in der Formtabelle der letzten acht Spiele) sowie die destruktive Spielweise sorgten dafür, dass man sich intern Gedanken über eine Veränderung machte. Thorup soll die Spielzeit dagegen deutlich positiver bewertet haben.
Wagner dachte intensiv über den FCA nach – und über seine Lebenssituation. Mit seiner Familie lebt er nur eine Stunde entfernt von Augsburg in Unterhaching. Dennoch will der Trainer nun nach Augsburg ziehen. Er sieht sich nach einer Wohnung in der Innenstadt um, will dort regelmäßig schlafen, damit er optimal seinen neuen Job ausfüllen und Augsburg zu neuen Erfolgen führen kann.
Die Verantwortlichen glauben, dass sie mit Wagner den nächsten Schritt in der sportlichen Entwicklung machen können: hin zu einer aktiveren, offensiven Spielweise. Vor allem soll Wagner von den Talenten im Kader, die bei Thorup zu wenig gefördert wurden, begeistert sein. Speziell Mittelfeld-Techniker Mert Kömür (19) und Verteidiger Noahkai Banks (18). Sie sollen eine wichtigere Rolle einnehmen. Wagner kann ihnen aus seiner eigenen Karriere viel mitgeben.
Klar ist: Mit dem Ex-Stürmer bekommt der FCA, sonst eine graue Maus der Liga, nun richtig viel Aufmerksamkeit. Für Augsburg ist die Verpflichtung ein echter Coup!

Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound is hinging on facts and feelings. Take a guess at which carries the most weight
CLEVELAND — For the third night in a row, Shohei Ohtani held his right arm aloft.After clobbering a freakish opposite-field blast through a swarm of Lake Erie midges on Tuesday night against the Cleveland Guardians, the three-time MVP began his trot in a 9-5 victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was the third consecutive game in which Ohtani had gone deep. He now leads baseball with 20 home runs.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAs he rounded first, Ohtani lifted his arm and pointed toward the Dodgers bullpen, a gesture he makes after every homer. Around the league, that’s become a common salute of comradery and appreciation for a slugger to make. In Ohtani’s case, it also symbolizes something more.That’s because his arm isn’t the same as other hitters. Each time Ohtani raises his surgically repaired, immeasurably valuable elbow, the Dodgers superstar is simultaneously offering […]

INDIANAPOLIS — Tyrese Haliburton’s best game of the 2025 playoffs, one of the best of his career, just happened to come on the night his dad was back in the building.The Pacers lifted their temporary ban on Haliburton’s father, John, attending games, and his son dominated with a 32-point triple-double in the Pacers’ 130-121 win over the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.Advertisement“Hell yeah (having John in the building had something to do with it),” Haliburton told TNT in his postgame interview on the court. “I’m glad Pops in the building, man.

Michael Conforto found a good night amid a brutal start: ‘It’ll all click’
CLEVELAND — The big screen in left field at Progressive Field in Cleveland measures 59 feet tall by 221 feet wide and doesn’t give you much room to hide. Especially if you’re struggling.When Michael Conforto of the Los Angeles Dodgers looked up at the massive jumbotron before his first at-bat on Tuesday, he saw a .162 batting average that was second-worst in the major leagues. Then he collected a hit in his first at-bat against the Guardians, scalding a groundball through the left side of the shift for a single.AdvertisementA more encouraging sign came in the sixth inning. Conforto worked a full count against reliever Hunter Gaddis and got the fastball he wanted. He did not miss it. Conforto got the type of contact he was searching for, smoking a fly ball to center field that carried out over the […]
Can the Red Sox fix what ails their broken offense?
As the Boston Red Sox continue to tread water, taking one step forward and two steps back, an inconsistent offense has undeniably been their biggest barrier to sustained success.On more than one occasion they’ve shown monstrous outbursts of power like the 19-run blowout on Friday against Baltimore that was followed by a 6-5 walk-off win the next game. But too often this season, those strong showings were followed with meager results, as evidenced by four runs over their next three games.AdvertisementThe trend continued Tuesday in Milwaukee. The Red Sox lost 5-1 to the Brewers in 10 innings after scoring just one run on a wild pitch in the sixth inning. Christian Yelich hit a grand slam for Milwaukee in the 10th, leading to another crushing loss for Boston.The loss of Alex Bregman for the foreseeable future to a severe right […]
