Augsburg have let go of veterans Finnbogason and Moravek, opting not to tender renewal offers.
The club announced this on their website: “Following the appointment of new head coach Enrico Maaßen, a number of personnel decisions have been made at FC Augsburg. After extensive talks, it has been decided that the expiring contracts of Jan Morávek and Alfred Finnbogason will not be extended. Enrico Maaßen’s assistant at Borussia Dortmund II, Sebastian Block, will accompany the new head coach at Augsburg and the expiring contracts of assistant coaches Tobias Zellner and Rainer Maurer will therefore also not be extended. Sporting director Stefan Reuter clarified these decisions with each of those affected.”
“Playing for the same club for ten years in this day and age is something very special. I would like to thank those in charge at the club, my coaches, my teammates. And the fans, for giving me the chance to play for FC Augsburg for such a long time. My family and I were really happy in Augsburg and we will look back on our time here with great fondness. I wish FC Augsburg nothing but the best for the future. And I will keep my fingers crossed for them in the Bundesliga next season,” said Jan Morávek.
“I have spent more time at FC Augsburg than I have at any other club. I will never forget my time here. After spells in Belgium, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain and Greece, I have found my second home at this club. I am incredibly grateful for that,” said Alfred Finnbogason. “Augsburg will always be a special place to me, not just because of my successful time at the football club. But also because my children were born here.”
