René Wagner

René Wagner is the newly appointed interim coach of the German Bundesliga football club, 1. FC Köln. He previously served as an assistant coach under both the recently dismissed Lukas Kwasniok and former coach Steffen Baumgart. Wagner's promotion to interim head coach comes after Köln's management decided to relieve Kwasniok of his duties following a string of poor results, culminating in a 3-3 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach. The club is currently struggling and facing relegation fears, having secured only two wins in their last 18 games. Wagner's immediate task is to stabilize the team and improve their performance in the remaining matches of the season. His appointment is significant as Köln seeks to avoid relegation and find a more permanent coaching solution.
