1860 München Takes Wiesn Breather as Coach Decision Waits and Stadium Plan Advances

Munich’s mayor cites a breakthrough in talks with president Gernot Mang, setting up a feasibility study for a 25,000‑seat Grünwalder expansion.

Overview

  • The club made its official Wiesn visit at the Hacker-Festzelt after back-to-back defeats, including a 1:5 loss to Hoffenheim.
  • Managing director Christian Werner and president Gernot Mang left the head-coach question unresolved, with Patrick Glöckner still in place.
  • Mayor Dieter Reiter said discussions with Mang were the first constructive talks in years and contrasted them with exchanges under former president Robert Reisinger.
  • A feasibility study for expanding the Grünwalder Stadion to 25,000 seats is being commissioned, with a decision target by March and a stadium commission to oversee the work.
  • Reiter recommended forming a neighborhood council, while senior players emphasized unity at the Wiesn, with notable attendance from Kevin Volland, Thomas Dähne and injured captain Jesper Verlaat.
