FC Magdeburg head coach Christian Titz has praised new signing Patric Pfeiffer as a “complete defender” following his loan transfer from FC Augsburg.
Pfeiffer, 25, has joined Magdeburg for the remainder of the season after a loan stint at Swiss club BSC Young Boys.
The Ghanaian center-back struggled for playing time with the Swiss side, prompting his move to the 2. Bundesliga.
Titz, who worked with Pfeiffer during their time together at Hamburg, expressed confidence in his new player’s abilities.
“I’m happy to have Patric on board,” Titz said. “He is a complete centre-back with great abilities and a strong physical presence.”
Pfeiffer, who signed for Augsburg last summer, previously played a key role in helping SV Darmstadt 98 earn promotion to the Bundesliga.
His experience and defensive qualities are expected to strengthen Magdeburg’s backline as they aim for a strong finish in the 2. Bundesliga.
The 25-year-old will wear the number 3 jersey for his new club and hopes to contribute immediately.
