Felix Magath Reportedly in Talks to Coach Struggling Unterhaching
The former Bundesliga-winning coach is rumored to be nearing a deal with the 3rd division club facing relegation challenges.
- Felix Magath, a three-time Bundesliga champion coach, is reportedly in advanced discussions with SpVgg Unterhaching to take over as head coach.
- Unterhaching, currently at the bottom of the 3rd division table, is battling relegation with only 14 points from 19 matches this season.
- The club's interim coach, Sven Bender, lacks a formal coaching license, creating financial and logistical challenges for the team to retain him long-term.
- Magath, who last coached Hertha BSC in 2022 and secured their Bundesliga survival, has expressed willingness to work in lower divisions with ambitious goals.
- Unterhaching's president, Manfred Schwabl, has neither confirmed nor denied the ongoing negotiations but emphasized that the coaching position remains undecided.
