The 1:3 defeat at LASK was the last straw: Austria’s football subscription champion FC Red Bull Salzburg separated from head coach Gerhard Struber because the club bosses no longer believed that the 47-year-old could bring about a turnaround in the sporting trend.
Out of! Ending! Over! Gerhard Struber’s era as head coach of FC Red Bull Salzburg is coming to an early end after 258 days! As the “Krone” learned, the Austrian series champion is parting ways with Kuchler with immediate effect. The whole thing will become official today at a press conference that will be scheduled at short notice. Managing director Stephan Reiter and sports director Bernhard Seonbuchner are drawing the conclusions from the sporting crisis, which began with the cup semi-final loss against Sturm Graz (3:4), continued with the 1-1 draw against Rapid in the league and most recently with the 1 The 3-3 defeat at LASK reached its lowest point for the time being. First “Stierwoscha” in the head coach position “I think it’s about recognizing the seriousness of the situation,” Seonbuchner told “Sky” after the game in Linz, without getting involved in a coaching debate. “I wouldn’t be talking about one coach alone, but about a whole group that was far away from their peak performance. (…) The coach is razor-sharp. Accordingly, the next step is to analyze why it happens.” The analyzes followed at the weekend with the result that Struber had to go. The first “Stierwoscha” on the bench of the red-white-red subscription champions was responsible for 35 games as head coach of the Mozartstadters and recorded an average of 1.91 points per game. Since the club bosses had serious doubts that Struber could turn things around again and the championship title was also in danger, they were forced to act.
