After his successful time in Unterhaching, former international striker Sandro Wagner is taking the next step in his coaching career with the DFB. He’s moving to junior level.

Former international Sandro Wagner moves to the German Football Association and becomes the new assistant coach of the U20 national team. The 35-year-old previous coach of SpVgg Unterhaching is moving to Hannes Wolf’s coaching team for the new season, as the DFB announced.

“After my first few years as a coach, this is the perfect next step for me,” said the former Bundesliga professional, according to the announcement. The sporting director of national teams at the DFB, Joti Chatzialexiou, praised Wagner as an “outstanding personality”.

In the course of Wagner’s commitment, the DFB announced further personal details on Tuesday. The previous U19 coach Guido Streichsbier is leaving the association after nine years. The 53-year-old will be Gerardo Seoane’s assistant coach at Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach. The previous U20 assistant coach Hanno Balitsch follows Streichsbier and takes over the new U18 national team from September. The youth coaches of the DFB support the teams for several years.

Wagner, who was promoted to the 3rd division with Haching, is also a TV expert at ZDF. The former striker had meanwhile also been traded as a U19 coach at FC Bayern. “At the DFB I will get new insights that will help me in my personal development,” said the 2009 U21 European champion.
