German FA Denies Wagner's Move to Dortmund
The German Football Association has blocked Sandro Wagner's potential move to Borussia Dortmund, affirming his role within the national team setup.
Sandro Wagner, assistant coach of the German national team under Julian Nagelsmann, has been the subject of speculation regarding a move to Borussia Dortmund to take up the head coach position. However, the German Football Association (DFB) has firmly denied any possibility of Wagner leaving his current role.
Andreas Rettig, President of the DFB, addressed the rumors in a recent interview. "Sandro is an essential part of our coaching setup," Rettig stated. "He joined us in March and has demonstrated tremendous dedication. He remains committed to his role, and there is no plan for his departure." Rettig emphasized that Wagner's contract runs until after the 2026 World Cup, underscoring his long-term importance to the national team.
Reports linking Wagner to Dortmund surfaced following the club's decision to part ways with their previous head coach, Nuri Sahin. Wagner’s growing reputation as a tactician and motivator had made him a desirable candidate for the role. Despite this interest, the DFB has maintained a firm stance, highlighting Wagner's pivotal role in Germany’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
Wagner himself has expressed satisfaction with his current position. "I am fully committed to the national team’s mission," he stated. "Working alongside Nagelsmann and this talented squad is a privilege. My focus remains on achieving success with Germany."
This is not the first time Wagner has been approached for a managerial position. Clubs like Hoffenheim previously expressed interest in securing his services. However, the DFB has consistently prioritized continuity and stability, rejecting any offers for Wagner to ensure he remains a cornerstone of the national team’s strategy.
For Borussia Dortmund, the DFB’s decision forces the club to explore other options for their vacant head coach role. While Wagner would have brought a wealth of knowledge and charisma to Dortmund, his commitment to the national team reflects his dedication to a long-term vision with Germany.
As the DFB continues to build toward a successful World Cup campaign, retaining Wagner further strengthens their coaching framework, ensuring stability and strategic alignment for the future.
