Manuel Baum Signs Contract Extension with FC Augsburg until 2028

Manuel Baum will remain head coach of FC Augsburg, signing a new contract that runs until 2028. The decision follows a solid ninth‑place finish in the Bundesliga. The club dismissed Sandro Wagner after an unsuccessful spell earlier this season. Augsburg then turned to Baum as a short‑term solution. Baum arrived at the club in December, taking charge of a side that was struggling for consistency. His first weeks focused on restoring confidence and tactical balance. Under Baum’s guidance the team stabilized, improving both defensive organization and attacking flow. The turnaround was evident in the points accumulated after his appointment. Augsburg finished the campaign in ninth place, a respectable position that exceeded expectations after the mid‑season change. The result was described as a good outcome for the club. The new agreement secures Baum’s services through 2028, providing long‑term continuity for the coaching staff. The contract reflects the board’s confidence in his leadership. Looking ahead, Baum will aim to build on the recent progress and push the club higher up the table. Supporters will hope the stability translates into further success.
