Overview
- Hannover confirmed Wagner as head coach on Saturday following media reports and a direct confirmation from supervisory board chairman Martin Kind.
- German outlets reported Wagner has signed a deal through 2028 to lead the club's promotion push.
- Interim coach Lars Barlemann will remain on the bench for the upcoming match against VfL Bochum while Wagner begins work in the international break.
- Wagner, 38, won promotion with SpVgg Unterhaching, served as an assistant under Julian Nagelsmann with the national team, and had a brief spell as FC Augsburg head coach.
- Hannover sit near the bottom with four points from five games after Christian Titz was dismissed, creating immediate pressure for results and a fast turnaround once Wagner starts training.
