Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Saturday that Hannover 96 has reached an agreement with Sandro Wagner on a deal that runs through 2028.
  • Christian Titz was dismissed after a 1-2 loss in Nuremberg following a slow start to the season that left Hannover with four points from five games.
  • U23 coach Lars Barlemann will serve as interim manager for the upcoming match against VfL Bochum while Wagner is scheduled to assume full duties on Monday.
  • Wagner previously served as FC Augsburg head coach until December 2025 and worked as a co-trainer under Julian Nagelsmann with the German national team, a background that supporters and pundits say gives him strong locker-room authority.
  • The club has given Wagner a clear mandate to return Hannover to the Bundesliga by next season, and reports say he received early squad briefings during negotiations including a reported meeting with co‑trainer Levent Sürme.
