After Christian Titz was dismissed, Sandro Wagner was supposed to get struggling second-division side Hannover 96 back on track. However, the new manager made a disastrous start with the Lower Saxony club. According to reports, the 38-year-old now faces uncertainty about his job, as does general manager Jonas Boldt.

Wagner has yet to record a victory and suffered a defeat in the derby—hardly the start he envisioned at Hannover. Impatience is growing within the club.

According to Bild, the manager could soon become history at Hannover 96. Wagner's future apparently depends on general manager Jonas Boldt, who had installed the former international player as Christian Titz's successor and has since come under fire himself.

There are reportedly "internal doubts" about the 44-year-old, who only arrived in the summer but made significant mistakes during his first transfer window. Club owner Martin Kind has apparently turned away from Boldt.

When asked by Bild, Kind stated that they must not be relegated, adding that he could not accept that after 30 years of work.

Wagner remains combative

Should Boldt have to leave, Wagner's days at Hannover could be numbered. The poor performance in the derby defeat in Braunschweig has seriously damaged the manager's reputation.

Ahead of the DFB-Pokal match against Kaiserslautern (Wednesday, 8:45 PM CET on Sky), Wagner expressed his fighting spirit. He stated that the team was eager to show a different face than the previous weekend and emphasized their determination to play well, advance in the cup, and bring good energy to the pitch.

The 0-2 defeat in Braunschweig, which was accompanied by riots, greatly frustrated the former striker, though he still believes in a turnaround. He acknowledged that they cannot make up for the loss but expressed confidence that things will improve through hard work.

However, growing doubts appear to exist within the club about this assessment.
