Construction Looms: Weber Expected to Shift from Paderborn to Augsburg in Football Bundesliga
Agency: Compliance with Directive from Paderborn Coach Weber Before Enforcement - Institution: FCA Awaits Decision by Paderborn Manager Weber Prior to Finalization of Agreement
Chatter surrounding the football Bundesliga scene suggest that Benjamin Weber, currently SC Paderborn's sports business manager, is on the brink of switching teams, joining forces with FC Augsburg. Multiple outlets, such as Sky and Augsburg General, have announced the possible deal between the two clubs. Previous reports hinted at discussions between Weber and FCA.
As Paderborn's 42-year-old manager, Weber is poised to step into the role of Augsburg's sports director, filling the void left by Marinko Jurendic's departure alongside coach Jess Thorup. Bonafide DFB national team assistant coach Sandro Wagner is now at the helm as Augsburg's new coach, and Weber's arrival promises to seal the key sports director position.
Past with Tuchel
Before his tenure at Paderborn, Weber served as a video analyst for Thomas Tuchel in Mainz, Dortmund, Paris, and Chelsea. The deal with Augsburg could become official once Paderborn finds a suitable replacement for Weber within the Second Division, with names such as Robin Trost from VfB Stuttgart and Sebastian Lange from SC Verl being mentioned as potential candidates. Neither club has spoken publicly regarding the rumors.
