Bayern Munich CEO in favor of reinstating suspended coach ahead of Elversberg match, but it’s too late

The FC Bayern exec wants a coach back in the dugout ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga match against Elversberg

Bayern Munich CEO in favor of reinstating suspended coach ahead of Elversberg match, but it’s too late

MUNICH, Germany - Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has suggested that the club could overturn the ban imposed on Elversberg coach Vincent Wagner ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga match against FC Bayern. Dreesen made the proposal to Sport 1, stating that it "would certainly be possible not to impose any bans for the next match if everyone sees it that way."

However, the Bundesliga's match report for Elversberg's recent 4-3 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach shows that Wagner was sent off for two bookable offences. Despite Elversberg's impressive season so far, including beating Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, they will be without their head coach Wagner against Bayern on Sunday.

The DFB's sports court has rejected Elversberg's appeal to lift the ban following Wagner's red card against Gladbach.
