According to media reports, Enrico Maaßen is to become the new coach of FC Augsburg. The Bundesliga soccer club came to an oral agreement with Maassen and his previous club Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, the details negotiated must now be recorded in writing, it said.
Perfect successor to Weinzierl: FC Augsburg and Borussia Dortmund have agreed verbally to sign Enrico Maaßen (38) as the new head coach. This is reported unanimously by “Bild” and “Kicker”. Maassen will succeed the resigned Markus Weinzierl (47) in the Fugger city.
Short, compact, clear
Promotion for Maassen: For the 38-year-old, the move from Dortmund’s U23s, whom he helped to stay up in the 3rd division last season, to FCA means a career leap. Maassen came to Borussia from SV Rödinghausen in 2020 and led the then regional league reserve to promotion.
Recently there has been a stir: the move from Maassen to Augsburg had already been reported as perfect at the weekend, but BVB had not yet known about it. Borussia had still planned firmly with Maaen, but now the deal is about to be completed.
