Elversberg's Robin Fellhauer celebrates scoring his side's first goal during the German Bundesliga Relegation soccer match between SV Elversberg and 1. FC Heidenheim at Ursapharm-Arena an der Kaiserlinde. Augsburg have signed midfielder Robin Fellhauer who will play in the Bundesliga for the first time in his career after narrowly missing promotion with Elversberg last season. Silas Schüller/DEFODI Images/dpa Augsburg have signed midfielder Robin Fellhauer who will play in the Bundesliga for the first time in his career after narrowly missing promotion with Elversberg last season. Augsburg said that the 27-year-old Fellhauer has signed a four-year contract until 2029. No financial details were given. Advertisement Fellhauer was a key player and captain at Elversberg, where he played for almost six years. In May they lost a promotion/relegation play-off tie against Heidenheim after coming third in the second division. The former German junior teams international can play in midfield but also as full back and centre back, which gives new Augsburg coach Sandro Wagner several options. 'Robin fits our profile perfectly. He's hard-working and strong in the challenge. He's flexible and also brings quality going forward," Augsburg CEO Michael Ströll said, naming Fellhauer "one of the best players in last season's second division.' Fellhauer said: 'My number one aim has always been to play in the Bundesliga. It's huge for me to have been able to fulfil this dream. I'm looking forward to this new challenge at an established Bundesliga side.

Former Germany striker Sandro Wagner gets his first Bundesliga coaching job at Augsburg
AUGSBURG, Germany (AP) — The former Germany and Bayern Munich forward Sandro Wagner landed his first top-tier coaching job Wednesday as he took over at Augsburg. Wagner has been working as assistant to Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann and will take charge of an Augsburg team which finished 12th in the 18-team Bundesliga this season. Augsburg said the 37-year-old Wagner had signed a three-year contract. His only previous job as a head coach was with Unterhaching in the fourth division, where he achieved promotion but left in 2023 to join the national under-20 team. The German soccer federation previously said Wagner would remain an assistant on the national team until after next month's Nations League final four. Augsburg's statement Wednesday didn't clarify when he would start work. Wagner's appointment comes five days after Augsburg's management fired coach Jess Thorup and sporting director Marinko Jurendić, arguing that the team needed a change of leadership to continue its development. Augsburg was in contention to qualify for European competition for much of the season but its form dipped and it ended the Bundesliga campaign with four straight losses. ___
