Manuel Baum has been permanently handed the reins at Augsburg after a two-game spell as caretaker coach following the departure of Dirk Schuster.
Why Marco Reus would be the perfect signing for Arsenal
Baum, who was previously a youth coach and has signed a long-term contract with the Bundesliga club, took four points from his two games in temporary charge.
The win over Borussia Monchengladbach and draw with Borussia Dortmund helped move Augsburg away from the relegation zone.
And Baum is excited by the challenge of keeping the Bavarians up this term, believing the fruit of his work is paying off.
