May 21st Sky Sports reporter Patrick Berger updated his social media updates and revealed the plans for the future of the Cologne club that upgraded the Bundesliga.

Cologne has formulated plans for the future and promote personnel changes after upgrading the Bundesliga:

Thomas Kessler will become the new sports director, and the two sides are in final negotiations, and the option to extend the contract to 2027 - if the relegation is successful is also under discussion.

Fonkel is unlikely to continue as head coach, and most senior executives want to hire a new head coach, although they are extremely grateful to Fonkel. Kessler will lead the search for coach.

In addition, there are many signs that former chief scout Martin Schultz will return. He participated in the locker room celebrations after the game Sunday and he may return to work soon.
