The former Bundesliga coach Michael Oenning should lead the second division football 1. FC Magdeburg from the current misery. As the newcomer announced at noon, the 53-year-old is now head coach at the 17th of the table. Oenning follows with the suspended on Monday Jens Härtel.

Oenning, who last worked for the Hungarian first division relegated Vasas Budapest, supervised between 2008 and 2011 in the Bundesliga 1. FC Nuremberg and Hamburger SV main responsibility.

In the European Cup Winners' Cup of 1974 Oenning expected a difficult task. Only nine points the club took 13 games, the past four games were all lost.
