Shadow man? Red Bull Salzburg is dealing with allegations

At the defeat of Austria FC Red Bull Salzburg the coaching staff is a hot topic right now. The two defensive coaches Pedro Pereira and Eddie Gustafsson, who were brought in this summer, do not have the necessary A-.License.

David Schartner was reported to the Bundesliga; he has the necessary license, but is reportedly only slightly involved in the work of the professional team.

Also the local media”Salzburg24” writes that Schartner was not present at the training sessions they attended and is not involved in the warm-up before the game. Therefore the club is accused of using a shadow man.

In addition to the professionals, Schartner is registered in the ÖFB system as a reserve coach for the U16 and U18.

Schartner is said to be involved

Sports director Bernhard Seonbuchner addresses the allegations to “Salzburg24”: “The visitors’ coaching staff FC Red Bull Salzburg consists of three people in total, namely David Schartner, Pedro Pereira and Eddie Gustafsson. David Schartner, who meets the Austrian Football Bundesliga requirements as part of the licensing process, has also been officially nominated to the Bundesliga.”

Therefore, it seems that there is no concern that they do not meet the requirements of the Bundesliga.

“We accept with this announcement and practical implementation by the three visiting coaches that we comply with the licensing rules of the Bundesliga. preparation and follow-up and also repeatedly in the on-site training courses,” he said Sports director.

Actually, according to Seonbuchner, Sebastian Baumgartner would have been expected to become the head coach after Ilsanker’s departure. The 37-year-old moved from Salzburg to VfL Bochum.

It remains to be seen whether the Bundesliga will accept the issue and whether there will be consequences.
