Coach Christian Titz would like to take a new way for more than four years at 1st FC Magdeburg. At a press conference on Wednesday, sports director Otmar Schork confirmed that the 54 -year -old trainer after the 1-2 at SC Paderborn on the 33rd matchday with the wish to want to change. Titz is still under contract with the FCM by 2026, but should be allowed to change for a low transfer.
“We are in close exchange, but I have not given up hope that he will be here on the first day of training,” said Schork. There have been rumors about Titz for weeks, where Hannover 96 and several clubs from the English championship are on it for weeks. FC Schalke 04 was recently associated with him again and again. According to Schork, the FCM continues to plan the coming season with Titz, together with Titz, there are no conversations with possible successor candidates.
After the 4: 2 against Fortuna Düsseldorf on the last matchday, Titz had missed a clear commitment to the FCM. He was “really happy here,” he emphasized at the “MDR” microphone, but in football you could “not always promise promise”. In 165 games under his leadership, Magdeburg scored an average of 1.59 points and made it to the 2nd Bundesliga in 2022. Titz, previously coach of Rot-Weiss Essen (2019 to 2020) and the HSV (2018), led the FCM to eleventh, 14 and most recently five.
In my view, Titz failed to defuse the speculation and to give a clear commitment to FCM. There will certainly be a few options on the table and then he has to decide which one is the best for him. It would be important for us to quickly clarify the squad planning. …
