German Clubs Lean on Stability: Augsburg Extends Baum, Dynamo Backs Stamm, Schalke Bolsters Planning

Stability emerges as the primary lever for survival under tight budgets.

Overview

  • FC Augsburg confirms Manuel Baum as head coach through season’s end with an agreed return to his development role afterward.
  • Baum outlines emphasis on defensive solidity, dressing-room culture and clear priorities for the 19-match run-in, with versatile newcomer Yannik Keitel joining the squad.
  • New Dynamo Dresden sporting chief Sören Gonther issues a public job guarantee for coach Thomas Stamm, rules out a clear‑out and adds four loanees: Jonas Sterner, Thomas Keller, Robert Wagner and Jason Ceka.
  • Dynamo travels with a 29-man squad to a camp in Lara, Turkey, scheduling tests against FC Aarau and Rot‑Weiss Essen while targeting faster integration and better set‑piece performance.
  • Schalke, revitalized under Miron Muslic after a title‑winning Hinrunde, appoints Maximilian Lüftl as squad planner as CEO Matthias Tillmann says immediate promotion is not a financial must.
