Antonio Serradilla: Change to TVB Stuttgart - a new tile!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - Handball has an exciting personnel on June 27, 2025: Antonio Serradilla Cuenca, the 26-year-old back room player, switches from SC Magdeburg to TVB Stuttgart. This decision is not a quick shot: the change was decided by mutual agreement in March. Serradilla made a name for himself in Magdeburg, not least because of his contribution to winning the EHF Champions League, which SC Magdeburg won for the third time in its history. Especially after this strong season, there would certainly have been some considerations in the club to keep the player beyond the summer, but the team's planning for the coming season did not provide a suitable place for Serradilla, as SCM trainer Bennet Wiegert explains. Therefore one went rather separate paths.

The newcomer to TVB Stuttgart has secured a contractual relationship running until 2027. TVB manager Jürgen Schweikardt is therefore satisfied with the "played" from Magdeburg, since Serradilla is viewed as an important component for the attack by the new trainer Misha Kaufmann. In his gratitude for the time in Magdeburg, the player expresses that he has appreciated the opportunity to work with great personalities. His change also happens under special circumstances, because Serradilla wears sports glasses after he suffered and operated on a retinal detachment a few years ago.

The challenges for SC Magdeburg

With the departure of Serradilla, SC Magdeburg is now facing a challenge. Negotiations on the whereabouts of key players like Christian O’Sullivan, who could possibly leave the team, indicate that changes will occur in the Magdeburg squad. Wiegert has already indicated that he wants to keep an eye on Serradilla, which is a diplomatic step in order not to lose the relationship with the talented player. "We will stay in touch," says Wiegert, which shows that there is a certain connection even after the farewell.

Serradilla itself is looking forward to the new phase in Stuttgart and the change is just right for him. After winning the Champions League, this is a new challenge that he is concerned with. So the handball remains exciting and we are excited to see how the next seasons will shape.
