It’s just an exaggerated e. In Manchester the word “city” doesn’t sound like it does here.

Sounds vary, German has as many accents as English does.

        No, it just means the guy introducing him pronounced it wrong. (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 11:35:09
        
        Pretty sure it’s the American version due to his stepdad like Robert (n/m) (NCFC) - stringersrevenge, Jan 3, 11:42:45
        
        Like I said, his prerogative, but Wagner is a German name. (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 11:51:53

        Announcer's Pronunciation Blunder (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Jan 3, 11:42:04
        
        Bloke from Huddersfield says wag-ner, so that's definitely the pronunciation 😄 (NCFC) - norwaay, Jan 3, 11:39:42
        
        Interestingly, we NEVER pronounced Farke's name like he does (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 3, 11:59:04
        
        That’s his accent. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 12:01:20
        
        It's still surely correct if that's what he calls himself (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 3, 12:04:10
        
        It’s just an exaggerated e. In Manchester the word “city” doesn’t sound like it does here. (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 12:14:54
        
        In/correct is a very grey area (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 3, 12:17:26
