  • Bild, as cited by Focus and other outlets, reports Sandro Wagner received a severance exceeding €3 million when his Augsburg deal was dissolved.
  • The reported sum works out to roughly €19,600 per day across his 153-day tenure, with Wagner now free to take another job.
  • Manuel Baum, the club’s head of development and innovation, stepped in as interim coach and is set to stay through the season.
  • Under Baum, Augsburg collected four points from three matches before the winter break and sits 14th, two points clear of the relegation playoff spot.
