The renewed win of the Champions League by SC Magdeburg not only ensured boundless jubilation at the reception on Magdeburg Rathausplatz, but also visited the hairdresser with head coach Bennet.
Thousands of fans flocked to the town hall on Monday (June 16, 2025) to celebrate their heroes properly. Hours before the team arrived, Rathausplatz turned into a red-green sea of flags, jerseys and scarves. Six months after the attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market, this balm for the battered souls of the city.
As in 2023, thousands of SCM fans were collected again on the Magdeburg marketplace.
That’s why Bennet is now blonde
When the bus drove up at the town hall, the enthusiasm knew no boundaries. Cheers, speakers and a lot of applause changed. When Bennet Wiegert left the bus, there were also many astonished looks. The reason: light blonde hair suddenly adorned the head of the otherwise rather dark -haired, born in Magdeburg. Apparently he had to implement the last challenge of an internal “advent calendar”, as captain Christian O’Sullivan and Nikola Porter revealed in an interview with Sport in the east.
Trainer has to get used to new hair splendor
The trainer himself did not want to reveal the story that led to his new hair. When asked by sports in the east, whether blonde simply would have more fun in life and whether he already feels comfortable with it, Wiegert said: “So far not. But maybe comes.”

Afterwards, the obligatory entry in the city’s Golden Book was pending.
