Former Bayern Munich striker in line for new head coaching gig?

Sandro Wagner, the former Bayern Munich striker, is reportedly a top candidate to become the new head coach at Hannover 96, according to reports. Hannover sacked their previous coach, Christian Titz, after a poor start to the 2. Bundesliga season. Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg confirmed that Wagner is the club's primary target, with negotiations already in motion.

However, no agreement has been reached yet, so he will not take charge of the team immediately. This potential move would mark an interesting new chapter for Wagner, who has been searching for another opportunity since leaving FC Augsburg in December. At 38, Wagner has experience as a head coach and has worked at the highest level of German football, including as an assistant coach for the German national team alongside Julian Nagelsmann.

His most recent head-coaching role was at Augsburg, where he faced significant challenges, managing only seven more points from his next 11 Bundesliga matches before being fired following a 3-0 loss to Hoffenheim. His current situation at Hannover could provide him with a chance to rebuild his reputation in the 2. Bundesliga while working for a club aiming to return to the top flight.

For Wagner, this could be an opportunity to show that Augsburg's outcome was not reflective of his true potential as a coach.
