Immediately after taking office, he was considered a shaky candidate, but ten years later Bennet Wiegert has become an integral part of the Champions League winners SC Magdeburg. He has long since achieved legendary status. This Monday, he celebrates his tenth anniversary with the Bundesliga handball club. Not everything went smoothly in his first season in 2015/2016, but SCM surprised everyone by winning the cup in 2016. The surprise coup also saved young coach Wiegert.
It is no surprise that the now 43-year-old considers this cup win to be his "most important title". In the years that followed, the Magdeburg native tweaked the squad and also acted as sporting director. He completely changed Magdeburg's game: fast-paced play, one-on-one breakthroughs and shots from close range. This is also how the successes come. Magdeburg regularly plays internationally and won the European League in 2021.
