Overview

• The club released Markus Fiedler and assistant coaches Andreas Schumacher and Saban Uzun with immediate effect, announcing the move on Sunday evening.
• U23 coaches Petrik Sander and Pascal Ibold, alongside co-trainer Silvio Bankert, will lead first-team training from Monday to prepare for the trip to SV Darmstadt 98.
• CEO Otmar Schork said last week’s analysis concluded the players had lost trust in Fiedler and no longer expected a reversal of results.
• Magdeburg sits last in the 2. Bundesliga with three points from eight matches after six straight league defeats and heavy losses including 0–4 to Elversberg and 0–6 in a test against Eintracht Braunschweig.
• No permanent successor has been named, and Schork said the club is in talks to find the right coach.
