Müngersdorf, Deutschland - The 1st FC Köln faces a new chapter in its club history. The club's decisive committees have spoken out as the new trainer for Lukas Kwasniok. According to a report by Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger , the members of the joint committee voted for Kwasniok in a meeting on Sunday evening worked at SC Paderborn.

After the departure of Friedhelm Funkel, who brought the Cologne residents back to the Bundesliga, the association is looking for a new coaching team. Kwasniok seems to be the favorite for the successor. The Pay TV station Sky also reported on the positive signals that the committees sent towards Kwasniok. Negotiations between the FC and the management of the trainer should get started stable to reach a quick agreement.

Kwasnioks Arrival in Cologne

The 36-year-old has his contract with Paderborn by 2026, which means that FC Köln has to pay a transfer fee. This is estimated at around 1.5 to 2 million euros, such as T-Online reported. Originally, Kwasniok had considered a break after his time in Paderborn. Nevertheless, he is now open to the challenge in Cologne.

Kwasniok is particularly interested in a Bundesliga activity, which underlines the lived football culture and the attractiveness of the Cologne location. The conversations with sports director Thomas Kessler went very positively, and it seems as if the agreement could soon be. Kwasniok's name was associated with the other potential candidates Urs Fischer, Christian Eichner and Christian Titz in the discussion about the coaching position.

A quick action is required

The urgency in the coaching question is given because the club at the top of football wants to score with young, dynamic strategies. After the resignation of Funkel, who had managed with the team in the last two games, it is crucial to act quickly. Gerhard Struber was previously released because the climb was in danger, and Funkel had canceled after the season for further cooperation.

FC Köln sprints into the new season with big steps and hopes to be able to set the right course for a successful season with Kwasniok as a trainer. How the situation is developing remains to be seen.
