FCM under pressure: Schork defends Fiedler despite a weak record!
1. FC Magdeburg sees itself in an extremely precarious situation in the 2nd Bundesliga. With just three points from eight games, the Magdeburgers are in last place in the table. After a series of six defeats in a row, including a particularly bitter 4-0 setback against Elversberg, the mood in the team is tense and frustrated. However, sports director Otmar Schork has decided that coach Markus Fiedler will remain in office despite the poor record. Loud Picture There is no deadline for Fiedler and the sports management would like to take enough time for an analysis in order to initiate a turnaround.
“We don’t make quick decisions,” Schork made it clear. He recognizes the responsibility he bears for the situation and points out that the departures of players like Kaars, El Hankouri and Burcu have had negative consequences. The squad was bloated and the quality that was required was not there. The sports director has made it all the more urgent for the top performers to get back into shape. The next opportunity to do this will be on October 19th, when Darmstadt is a guest.
Punch lines urgently needed
Overall, 1. FC Magdeburg is weaker than ever this season. The series of failures has resulted in this being the club's worst start to a season in professional football. Another setback could have serious consequences for those responsible. Schork, who postponed his planned vacation for a few days, would like to work through the problems during the upcoming international break together with the coach and the team in order to clear the players' minds and regain the necessary motivation.So it remains to be seen whether the planned calm and analytical approach of those responsible will bear fruit.
The situation at 1. FC Magdeburg is therefore tense, but as is well known, hope for improvement dies last. An upswing in the next game could mean the first step back on the road to success. After all, with 8 games and just one win this season, the team has a lot to win - or lose.
