It was too much defeat. The setback conceded by Augsburg against Bayern Münich (0-2) was right for its coach, Valaisan Martin Schmidt. The latter pays the bad period crossed by Augsburg which conceded seven defeats on its last nine meetings. “It was not an easy decision to make. But with just four points in nine games, we came to the conclusion that we needed to change coaches. In the life of a club, there are always delicate periods to overcome. But there, we felt that our goal of retention was threatened, “said Stefan Reuter, sporting director of a club which points to 14th place in the Bundesliga with 27 points, just five more units than the barragist Düsseldorf.
Our maintenance objective was threatened.

The club counts more than any individual. This is why I wish the FCA and the team every success. I hope this change can give the team new momentum and a successful future. ”
