René Wagner

René Wagner is the former assistant coach of 1. FC Köln. He previously worked under Steffen Baumgart at the club. Wagner is now newsworthy because he has been appointed as the interim coach of 1. FC Köln following the dismissal of Lukas Kwasniok. Kwasniok's departure comes after a series of disappointing results, despite the team's often-good performances. The club is currently struggling and facing relegation fears. Wagner's immediate task is to try and turn the team's fortunes around and guide them away from the relegation zone. His appointment is significant as the club seeks stability and a change in direction after Kwasniok's failure to improve their standing in the Bundesliga.
