Sandro Wagner to Bayern? FCA boss comments on possible return | OneFootball

FC Augsburg causes a stir at the start of the season – and the new coach suddenly finds himself in the spotlight. One question now raises the possibility of a Bayern comeback.

At the league opener, Sandro Wagner made waves with a convincing 3-1 victory over SC Freiburg. The 37-year-old seems to have injected fresh momentum into his team in a very short time.

In an interview with Sport BILD, Wagner was confronted with a hypothetical inquiry from former Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic about a possible role at FC Bayern. The former national player initially responded with humor: “Brazzo is quite the rascal, isn’t he?” Wagner said with a grin.

He then made his current stance clear: “I know what would happen if I said something bold now, so: Of course, for many coaches, it’s a goal to work at the biggest clubs. But that’s not my mindset at the moment. I want to be as successful as possible with FCA, that’s my only focus.”

Meeting with his former club ahead

On Saturday evening, Wagner faces a special duel: FC Bayern, his boyhood club, will visit Augsburg. There’s already plenty to talk about even before kickoff – not only because of Wagner’s Bayern past, but also due to his statements and successful debut.

His confidence in his own team is clearly evident. “We definitely have players who could play at Bayern. But I can’t name names right now – otherwise they might get snatched away before the transfer window closes,” joked the FCA coach in Sport Bild.

Wagner emphasizes his focus on his current task – nevertheless, the upcoming clash with the German record champions is likely to be more than just a sporting highlight. Kickoff is on Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. in the WWK Arena.
