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.
