Augsburg Fans Target Wagner With Banners During 1–0 Loss to Dortmund

Club leaders maintain support for the new coach despite the league's leakiest defense.

Overview

  • Serhou Guirassy decided the match in the 37th minute after an Augsburg defensive mix-up, handing Borussia Dortmund a narrow away win.
  • Supporters displayed multiple messages that criticized Sandro Wagner and the club's direction, including lines about "personality cult," "marketing madness," and turning the team into a "shooting gallery."
  • Under Wagner, Augsburg have collected seven points from eight league matches and currently own the Bundesliga's worst defensive record.
  • The defeat capped a bruising week that also featured a 6–0 loss to RB Leipzig and a DFB-Pokal elimination against VfL Bochum.
  • Reporting indicates the board still trusts Wagner as players such as Elvis Rexhbeçaj publicly back him, and the coach addressed the situation by accepting fan frustration and approaching the curve to applause after full time.
