It’s reported that the appointment of Maaßen will cost Augsburg a base fee of around €300k but could rise depending on his success. He will replace Markus Weinzierl, who left the Bavarian club at the end of the season.

It’s not the first time a manager has jumped from the third division to the Bundesliga. As recently as 2020, Sebastian Hoeneß moved from Bayern Munich II to Hoffenheim before being sacked two years later.

Maaßen arrived at Borussia Dortmund in 2020 from SV Rödinghausen, where he held the position of head coach.
