René Wagner warns: FC Köln could slip into a real crisis

At 1. FC Köln, unease is already starting to show, and the Rhin derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach is just a week away. Speaking as Köln’s coach, René Wagner warned that the situation could “very quickly grow into a proper crisis”, according to kicker reporter Jim Decker.

With tension present in the build-up, Wagner’s challenge is to keep things under control during the week leading into the derby, so the current unrest doesn’t turn into a bigger sporting problem.
