What does FC Augsburg stand for? Around 4,000 members of the FCA family spent the preceding months and years trying to answer this question, and from it created FC Augsburg’s new brand, based on guiding principles and intrinsic values: the 07-Werte. This new brand also included a new visual style, which was clearly based on the club colours and had a uniquely developed pattern with a distinctive design.

After the home and third kits had already been revealed at the end of July, the new away kit, which was first presented at the Augsburger Friedensfest on the anniversary of FC Augsburg’s founding, completed the collection of jerseys from our new supplier Mizuno.

How blindsided was Nagelsmann? Probably more than anyone else — especially when reading the message he gave to players during a speech right before the team left for the international break.

The substitutes: Noll, Grillitsch, Beier, Justvan, Becker, Akpoguma, Skov, Bischof, Szalai

Goals: 1-0 Grifo (4), 2-0 Grifo (6), 3-0 Grifo (20), 4-0 Gregoritsch (45), 4-1 Michel (85)

After an admittedly rather short break over Christmas, the Wolves returned to the training pitch at the VfL-Center on Thursday just eight days after their last competitive game of the year against Bayern Munich. Head coach Niko Kovac’s charges were put through their paces for almost two hours, despite the biting cold wind that accompanied them.

Haaland became the third player in Champions League history to score five goals in a game – there are many more of  to marvel at – with Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin de Bruyne offering their two cents in the second half.

Edin Terzic on the friendly win:
”It’s good to win games. But looking at the way the match went today, there were a few things that malfunctioned. It was clear that we still have a few things to work on. We had to defend a lot of counter-attacks and dangerous set-pieces. It’s extremely important that we find our rhythm again quickly. There were a few things that left us unhappy, we’ll have to make big improvements in these areas.” 

Year in Review: A successful end to the season and the end of an era As...

At the start of November, Frank Baumann revealed that he will not extend his contract as sporting director. WERDER.TV and the 48-year-old are looking back on the past year one final time. Baumann speaks about how the year has gone for both our men’s and women’s teams and discusses the trials and tribulations of summer squad planning.

Die Schwarzgelben sporting director Sebastian Kehl recently told Sky Sports Deutschland (via @iMiaSanMia) that he is unsure if Tuchel’s Bayern is any different to Julian Nagelsmann’s Bayern. “I don’t know if Bayern will be better on Saturday with Thomas Tuchel than they were under Julian Nagelsmann,” Kehl opined. “I don’t think this will have a big effect on the game because many international players were away and there weren’t many training sessions.”
