There are still a few important positions vacant in the regional league. What’s next for Fürstaller and Co.? Lapkalo stays at Wallersee.
Who goes, who stays, who comes? The regional league rumor mill has been bubbling for weeks. Several important positions are still vacant. The “Krone” gives an overview.FC Pinzgau: After his appointment in the autumn, Markus Fürstaller made a major contribution to the fact that the Saalfelden team will play in the Westliga in 2023/24. Whether the common path will continue is still in the stars. “The question is how and whether you can divide it up,” says the 47-year-old, who definitely feels “desire for more”, but is fully engaged in his full-time job. Talks are to follow in the next one to two weeks, and then a decision will be made. Bishopshofen: Pongauer need a new man on the sidelines. Ex-Grödig coach Thomas Schnöll didn’t miss the derby against Saalfelden either. Because the ambitious football coach is an option for the ambitious Bischofshofener? “We talked to him,” confirms sporting director Mario Helmlinger. But there are two other candidates. One is said to be Raphael Laghnej. The German-Tunisian is the junior manager at the German second division club Sandhausen.Grödig: Quo vadis, Heimo Pfeifenberger? Salzburg’s footballer of the century has not yet extended to the Flachgauers, and has never completely ruled out coaching in the past. But: “The trend is that I’ll stay another year,” says the sports boss. The decision has already been made in Seekirchen. Mario Lapkalo will also be swinging the coaching scepter next season, no matter in which league: “I’m very motivated!”
