On this week’s main show, Manu and Matt were joined by FC Augsburg CEO Michael Ströll and sporting director Benjamin Weber.

We also had the chance to talk to them about last season, why it didn’t work out with Sandro Wagner, and how Manuel Baum managed to turn the season around. Finally, Weber speaks about his time with Thomas Tuchel and whether he can be a success with England. Enjoy!
