Fiedler takes over FCM: This is how he wants to inspire the fans!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - With a fresh breeze and new ideas, Markus Fiedler took over the scepter as head coach of the 1st FC Magdeburg on June 23, 2025. The first training session took place on Monday afternoon and the mood was consistently positive. Fiedler, who previously trained VfB Stuttgart II and secured the relegation in the 3rd division there, would like to continue the successful offensive of the past year. The 39-year-old coach has already set clear goals to keep the club very popular.

A lot of talking was not the order of the day; Rather, Fiedler left the word to his assistant. His main focus is now on getting to know the players and, above all, acting as an observer in order to get a suitable picture of his new team. As he emphasizes himself, he has big plans: "I want to dominate the game and inspire the viewers." Fiedler relies on fast pressing and targeted possession of the ball to continue to provide exciting encounters in the future. The interest of the fans in Magdeburg was not long in coming, and her enthusiasm was a decisive factor for Fiedler's change to the FCM, as [picture] reported.

Together into the future

The new trainer is optimistic that the support of the fans can make the difference. "I dream of sold -out games," said Fiedler. Even if he appreciates the performance of his predecessors and sees parallels to the previous style of play, he still wants to leave his own manuscript. His goal is clear: to lift the team to the next level and make the FCM competitive in the upcoming season.

born on February 6, 1986 in Leonberg, Baden-Württemberg, Fiedler has an impressive career. He started his career at SGV Freiberg before moving to TSG Hoffenheim as an assistant coach in 2014. In 2015 he completed his final exams at the Ludwigsburg University of Education, followed by various coaching stations, which ultimately led him to VfB Stuttgart. There he celebrated great success with the U-15 team before taking responsibility for the second team in the summer of 2023 and even winning the championship in the Regionalliga Südwest in the first season. At [1. FC Magdeburg] Fiedler was considered the ideal choice for the coaching post, and Managing Director Sport Otmar Schork was correspondingly positive about him.

a long tradition

The 1st FC Magdeburg looks back on a moving story that was shaped by many well -known coaches. The club icon Heinz Krügel, who won the European Cup in 1974, is still a lasting legacy. There are numerous successes to his long term, which does not reduce expectations of Fiedler, but also gives him a clear path. In recent years, various coaches such as Jens Härtel and Christian Titz have had a responsibility, which strongly shaped the club today, but Fiedler could now take the next big step in the club history.

His first test as a coach of the FCM is already on Wednesday at 6 p.m. when the team competes against the Burger BC. Now it remains to be seen whether Fiedler can fill out the great footsteps of his predecessors and whether his ideas will inspire the audience in the stadium. An exciting way for the FCM, which is only at the beginning. The club and its fans hope for many unforgettable moments in the coming season and are excited to see what the coming weeks will bring.
