New coach Markus Fiedler starts at the 1st FC Magdeburg!

Markus Fiedler (39) is ready to take on his new role as a coach of 1. FC Magdeburg on Monday. The first training session will take place in the morning, and Fiedler expects around 30 professionals who are currently under contract with the FCM. This obligation follows the news that Christian Titz changes to Hannover 96, which costs a transfer between 500,000 and 700,000 euros. Titz 'assistant, including Andreas Schumacher, was also associated with a move to Hanover, while Schumacher now remains part of the Fiedler coaching staff and has extended his contract. This is surprising Magdeburg's sports director Otmar Schork, who had not expected the cooperation between the two former youth coaches. Fiedler and Schumacher know each other from times in the youth department of VfB Stuttgart.

The challenge for Fiedler is great because he not only has to fill out the footsteps of Titz, but should also provide a breath of fresh air in the team. Fiedler has been working in VfB Stuttgart since 2015 and successfully led the club's second team to the 3rd division. He was able to secure the relegation. The transfer for his move to Magdeburg is around 300,000 euros, which underlines his expectations of the team and the coming season. Management and fans hope that his experienced team of coaches, which Saban Uzun (38) will also include as an assistant coach, will bring the desired success.

experienced team of coaches

Saban Uzun, who comes from Tübingen, has had an interesting football career. Before his commitment in Magdeburg, he trained the RB Leipzig women's team and led them to the Bundesliga. However, his contract was not extended in the summer of 2024. He then took over the men's team of SV Licht-Loidl Lafnitz in Austria's 2nd league. Uzun has dissolved his contract there until 2026 to work with Fiedler at 1. FC Magdeburg. This duo will arouse many expectations because both can come up with a solid trainer experience.

The Situation about the change of coach is carefully pursued by the supporters of the 1. FC Magdeburg. In the past few weeks, a lot has been speculated about the possible reorganization in the club, especially with regard to the extension of the contract of Andreas Schumacher. The new coaching constellation could provide a fresh wind and meet the expectations of the fans for the coming season. The official announcement on the change of Titz and the commitment of Fiedler could take place promptly, which increases the anticipation for the new season.
