It is no longer news that Sandro Wagner has also been a topic of discussion at several Bundesliga clubs in recent months. Julian Nagelsmann’s assistant at the DFB team is still in demand as a head coach at club level.
According to the TSG Hoffenheim, this interest has Bild It was already reported at the beginning of August that Wagner was a topic of discussion in Sinsheim. On the one hand, he is an exciting person, but on the other, those in charge no longer seem to be completely convinced by Pellegrino Matarazzo. The dissatisfaction he expressed about the squad does the rest.
According to the report, TSG recently made a very concrete approach to the DFB. Hoffenheim is said to have asked what the situation would be with regard to a possible release of Wagner if they tried to do so. This is still a theoretical case at first. But the Bundesliga club seems to want to prepare for such a scenario.
However, a timely takeover of Wagner is not an option. On the one hand, this step would probably come too soon for the association. On the other hand, Hoffenheim will still be playing with Matarazzo in the next few weeks. But by the winter break, i.e. with a view to the second half of the season, things could look different.
It is no longer a secret that Wagner is fundamentally interested in a coaching position in the Bundesliga. However, he has also committed himself to accompanying the national team at least until the 2026 World Cup. From the DFB’s point of view, there is “no reason at all to change anything about this,” as Rudi Völler commented (via Bild).
