Unterhaching in Schlanders: The coach is the star

It is already the 6th time that the Munich suburban club has set up its training tents in Schlanders. This year, however, a lot is different. The Hachingers, who were relegated from the 3rd league to the Bavarian Regional League last season, are facing a major upheaval. There are a lot of young players at the training camp in Vinschgau - just like new coach Sandro Wagner.

The former striker of FC Bayern Munich and the German national team, who made a total of 180 Bundesliga games (44 goals) and 8 international matches (5 goals) during his career, was appointed head coach last Friday - immediately before his departure to South Tyrol. The 33-year-old only took over the A-Juniors of the game association in March and was recently promoted to the Bundesliga with the U-19s. But Wagner has not only made a name for himself in recent months with his work as a youth coach, but he is also valued as an expert and co-commentator for the streaming service DAZN (he performs this function for ZDF during the European Championships). “Sandro lives in Unterhaching and has always followed the club.” Manfred Schwabl Manfred Schwabl has been President of SpVgg Unterhaching since 2012.

“Sandro lives in Unterhaching and has always followed the club. In his work as a youth coach, he has proven that he has a lot of empathy and is incredibly meticulous. We also want to include a lot of youth players in the Bavarian Regional League. “That’s another reason why it fits our direction like a glove,” said President Manfred Schwabl, who played for FC Bayern and 1860 Munich, among others SportNews .

>>>Professional teams visiting South Tyrol: The overview Schwabl believes Wagner will have a great coaching career The Unterhaching president really raves about his new head coach, who is also getting his coaching license this season: “He speaks things clearly. He doesn't just talk to everyone else either. Nevertheless, he never lets the ex-professional out, but also communicates with every youth player on an equal footing. I particularly appreciate that about him.” When asked whether Schwabl thought Wagner would have a great coaching career, he replied: “Absolutely. As a youth coach, he was always the first in the office and left nothing to chance. He is also always honest and talks about everything openly. As a player he experienced everything anyway.” Unterhaching is visiting Schlanders for the 6th time. © SpVgg Unterhaching

Next season, the former Bundesliga club in the Bavarian Regional League will primarily rely on their own youth players. In addition, the axis should include captain Markus Schwabl (the president's son already played in the third highest English league at Fleetwood Town), midfielder Dominik Stahl (played for a long time in the 2nd Bundesliga at 1860 Munich) and striker Stephan Hain (played in the Bundesliga for FC Augsburg) remain on board. When asked about the relegation last season, Schwabl said: “It was a mess. But maybe it had to happen that way and we just wanted too much. The message now will be to pay even more attention to the character of the players and to bring in even more young players.” “Everything just fits here.” Manfred Schwabl about the training camp in Schlanders Schwabl, who is well known in the Bavarian football scene, not only has a high opinion of his new coach, but also of the conditions in Silandro: “Everything is just right here. The whole environment, the down-to-earthness, the peace and the kind of people. That suits our club 100 percent. I have always been a South Tyrol fan. For us there is nothing better. That’s why we always want to go to Schlanders in the future.”
