🚨 Caretaker lands top job! Bundesliga club extends coach's deal | OneFootball

Some Bundesliga clubs have already analyzed the season and made decisions about their coaches. That is now also the case at 1. FC Köln. After there were several candidates, the Billy Goats ultimately opted for René Wagner. 

He had taken over Köln as interim coach and guided them to safety. He has now signed a contract as head coach until 2028. 

“We used the time after the season intensively not only to look at the development of the past few months, but above all to focus on the future. René impressed us in these talks on several levels and with all stakeholder groups. He has a high level of sporting expertise, a clear and authentic leadership style, and a very concrete idea of how we want to continue developing our team in the future,” said FC managing director Thomas Kessler in the press release announcing the decision.
