Overview

• Augsburg hosts Wagner's former club on Saturday in the 18:30 Bundesliga slot, a stage the team has not occupied for more than a decade.
• Wagner declares he always plays for victory, applying the stance to his first home match against Bayern.
• Fresh off a 3:1 win in Freiburg, he outlines ambitions to edge toward the league's top half rather than accept lower-table goals.
• He highlights goalkeeper Finn Dahmen as a standout and plans to leverage the keeper's ball-playing skills more in Augsburg's build-up.
• The Munich-born coach with long Bayern ties says he is not pursuing a return to the club and declines to name Augsburg players he believes could play there to avoid transfer interest.
