Boardroom28 Feb 2028

Pressure builds in the FC Augsburg boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Match26 Feb 2028

FC Augsburg cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Tempers go at FC Augsburg

Andrej Kramarić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match26 Feb 2028

FC Augsburg find a way past Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt made FC Augsburg work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

Kristijan Jakić in the eights

A performance of 9.15 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad28 Feb 2028

The manager makes an example of Eric Ramírez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

One of those days for Eric Ramírez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.85, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

One of those days for Rodrigo Ribeiro

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.54, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

Fabian Rieder runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

The silence upstairs is getting loud at FC Augsburg

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Match29 Jan 2028

Chastening afternoon for FC Augsburg

A 1‑5 beating by VfB Stuttgart was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Tempers go at FC Augsburg

Andrej Kramarić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

One of those days for Rodrigo Ribeiro

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad31 Jan 2028

The manager makes an example of Dimitris Giannoulis

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Alexis Claude-Maurice in the eights

A performance of 8.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

Nobody left the FC Augsburg dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad31 Jan 2028

A long afternoon for Finn Dahmen

Beaten 5 times, with 3 saves for company. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines on their record whoever actually caused them, which is the quiet injustice of the job.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Rodrigo Ribeiro

4 goals and a season average of 7.30 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad6 Sep 2027

Mads Pedersen says FC Augsburg went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Tempers go at FC Augsburg

Andrej Kramarić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match4 Sep 2027

Borussia Mönchengladbach take the points off FC Augsburg

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

Alexis Claude-Maurice in the eights

A performance of 8.96 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

Nobody could get near Mert Kömür

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

A masterclass from Anton Kade

Marked 8.47 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad6 Sep 2027

“I want to play”: Tom Bischof speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Chofis gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market6 Sep 2027

Danny Batth brings the grey hairs FC Augsburg lacked

At 36, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.
