FC Magdeburg Signs French Winger Kandet Diawara
- FC Magdeburg, a German football club with a rich history and notable achievements, has made a significant addition to their squad. Kandet Diawara, a versatile winger, has joined the club from France.
Diawara, born on February 10, 2000, in Lille, France, has signed with FC Magdeburg and will wear the number 39 jersey. The French-Guinean talent has a solid background, having played for the French U-18 national team and various youth teams, including RC des Bois Blancs Lille, Iris Club de Lambesart, and RC Lens.
In recent years, Diawara has been on the move, returning to France in July 2023 to play for Le Havre AC, with loan spells at Concarneau and Pau. He also had a stint in Cyprus, playing for PO Xylotymbou, APOEL Nikosia, and EN Paralimniou until 2023.
Markus Fiedler, Head Coach of 1. FC Magdeburg, believes Diawara's flexibility, speed, and one-on-one ability will fit well into their playing idea and help close the gap on the offensive wings. Otmar Schork, Sporting Director of the club, considers Diawara an exciting winger with good qualities in one-on-one situations.
Diawara's career in Germany began with the reserves at RC Lens, where he made his debut and played 32 games, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
- FC Magdeburg is a club steeped in history, particularly during the time of East Germany (1949–1990). They were the most successful East German club in European competition, winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1974, a landmark achievement for the club and East German football. They also achieved multiple domestic successes in East Germany's top league, the DDR-Oberliga.
After German reunification in 1990, Magdeburg faced challenges adapting to the new unified football league structure but have remained an important club within German football. As of recent years, Magdeburg competes in Germany's 2. Bundesliga with competitive efforts against teams like FC Köln and Dynamo Dresden.
Diawara is currently injured and will need some time to get back into shape. Despite this, the club is pleased to have him joining their ranks. A photo was released showing Diawara with Otmar Schork and Markus Fiedler, representatives of 1. FC Magdeburg.
Diawara expressed his excitement about his time at 1. FC Magdeburg, particularly the fans and the atmosphere in the stadium. With his speed, skill, and determination, Diawara is poised to make a significant impact on the Magdeburg squad.
