Former Germany striker Sandro Wagner gets his first Bundesliga coaching job at Augsburg
AUGSBURG, Germany (AP) — The former Germany and Bayern Munich forward Sandro Wagner landed his first top-tier coaching job Wednesday as he took over at Augsburg. Wagner has been working as assistant to Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann and will take charge of an Augsburg team which finished 12th in the 18-team Bundesliga this season. Augsburg said the 37-year-old Wagner had signed a three-year contract. His only previous job as a head coach was with Unterhaching in the fourth division, where he achieved promotion but left in 2023 to join the national under-20 team. The German soccer federation previously said Wagner would remain an assistant on the national team until after next month's Nations League final four. Augsburg's statement Wednesday didn't clarify when he would start work. Wagner's appointment comes five days after Augsburg's management fired coach Jess Thorup and sporting director Marinko Jurendić, arguing that the team needed a change of leadership to continue its development. Augsburg was in contention to qualify for European competition for much of the season but its form dipped and it ended the Bundesliga campaign with four straight losses. Leipzig, Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen and promoted Cologne are also looking for new coaches ahead of next season. ___ AP soccer:

Sandro Wagner to become new Augsburg head coach
Florian Plettenberg reports that Sandro Wagner is set to become the new head coach at Augsburg, replacing Jess Thorup. Wagner (37) will leave his role as assistant manager to Julian Nagelsmann following Germany's participation at the UEFA Nations League finals next month, having previously worked with the U20 national team. Advertisement Plettenberg further reports that Wagner and Augsburg have reached a final agreement, and that the German will sign a three-year contract until 2028. Why did Augsburg sack Jess Thorup? Augsburg announced in April that they had parted ways with Thorup after analysing their season, where they finished 12th – nine points behind Mainz, who qualified for the final European spot. At one point, it looked as though the Fuggerstadt would go on to qualifying for Europe after an excellent run but without a win in their last five, they ultimately dropped off the pace. From the off, Wagner was seen as their preferred candidate to replace Thorup, fighting off competition from other clubs to appoint Nagelsmann's assistant. GGFN | Daniel Pinder
