The historic 7-0 shooting festival last Saturday from the sovereign ADMIRAL Bundesliga leaders SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz against Austria Klagenfurt under Interim coach Jürgen Säumel not only caused a stir in sport, but also reignited the question of coaching. The departure of Christian Ilzer to TSG Hoffenheim has fueled speculation as to who could take over permanently. One prominent name is particularly in the spotlight at the moment: Urs Fischer.
Urs Fischer (l.) and Michael Parensen, neo-managing director of sports at SK Sturm Graz, worked together successfully for years at 1. FC Union Berlin. Will they both be reunited soon with the Austrian double winner? Just like the former success guarantees of SK Sturm – Christian Ilzer & Andreas Schicker – are now back at the German Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Stories that football writes…! With Gregory Wüthrich, the “Schwoazn” at least already have a deserving player from Switzerland in their ranks. Now also a Swiss coach and German sports director for the Austrians?
Urs Fischer in conversation, but Parensen dampens expectations
The successful Swiss coach, who will work at Union Berlin until November 15, 2023 and has been without a club since then, is considered a possible option in Graz. The connection between the 58-year-old Swiss and the new sports director Michael Parensen is particularly interesting. Parensen, who played for the “Iron” for many years during his playing days, knows Urs Fischer from his time in Berlin.
In an interview with the Small newspaper However, the 38-year-old neo-director of sports at the Styrians weighed it down. “I haven’t talked to him about whether he would be interested.”explained Parensen. However, to leave no doubt that he considers the Swiss to be an excellent coach. At the same time, he said that, in his opinion, Fischer does not currently fit the needs of Sturm Graz optimally.
Jürgen Säumel as a long-term option?
While the discussions about external candidates continue, interim coach Jürgen Säumel is also increasingly coming into focus. The 39-year-old, who was able to set a first exclamation mark with the furious win against Klagenfurt, is considered a serious candidate for a permanent solution. However, a decision is unlikely to have been made until after the winter break, when the sporting management has carried out a detailed analysis of the current situation.
Until then, the coaching question remains open – and Urs Fischer is probably just one of the names on the long list of candidates at SK Sturm Graz for the time being. Tomorrow evening they will host FC Girona in the UEFA Champions League at the Wörthersee Stadium in Klagenfurt (from 6:45 p.m. in League portal LIVE TICKER).
