The new sporting director at 1. FC Magdeburg sees a good chance that the coaching duo will stay on. "Both are totally tidy and are doing a good job. Four points from the last two games give us a good feeling," said Peer Jaekel, without giving any great details. Former U23 coaches Petrik Sander and Pascal Ibold, whose contracts expire in the summer, could remain coaches with the professionals beyond the end of the season.
However, the focus is currently on the relegation battle. "The focus must be on performing week in, week out," emphasized the 43-year-old during his presentation. One week after parting ways with sporting director Otmar Schork, the club presented him as his successor in the sporting area. The successor in the position of sporting director will be decided at a later date by the second-division soccer club.
