Coach Ronny Thielemann is returning to 1. FC Magdeburg. The 52-year-old coach will become head coach of the U23s at the second-division soccer club, the club announced. Thielemann, who most recently worked as assistant coach of the U19s at RB Leipzig, succeeds Daniel Wölfel, who will remain with the team as assistant coach.
"When filling the coaching position for our regional league team, it was particularly important for us to find someone who not only knows our club and its values, but also lives them and at the same time has already gained a wealth of experience in supporting and developing top talent," said FCM sporting director Peer Jaekel.
