A coaching shake-up is brewing at 1. FC Köln!

According to the "Express", head coach Rene Wagner's job is on the line after the international break. At a meeting of the leadership, the 38-year-old was reportedly given an ultimatum.

If Wagner loses the upcoming match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, he will likely have to pack his bags. Furthermore, the German Bundesliga club is reportedly already in agreement with Horst Steffen for the succession.

Already on Site

Steffen, who was coach at league rival Werder Bremen until February, was reportedly already on site over the weekend and watched Köln's second team.

Wagner himself has only been coach of the "Billy Goats" since May 2026. First as interim coach, then as head coach. In twelve games, he has only managed three victories.
