Finally! On Tuesday at 5:58 p.m. the undignified spectacle of Lustenau’s search for a coach, which lasted over five weeks, came to an end when Andy Heraf, who was still in Asia until Saturday, was made official as Austria’s new coach. Which means that second division team SW Bregenz is now looking for a coach…
The Lustenau sports director and cooperation partner CSC “quickly agreed that Heraf had the best prerequisites,” said the club’s release – it’s hard to imagine how long it would have taken if they hadn’t “quickly agreed.” . While the bottom of the Bundesliga table has found its new trainer, SW Bregenz – currently third in the second league – is in full swing looking for a successor to Heraf. Madlener or Spiegel as a Ländle solution? But who should go to the not so small ones? Following in the footsteps left by the outgoing Viennese in the state capital? There aren’t too many candidates in the country who would meet the requirements. However, Daniel Madlener would be one of them. The ex-Vorwärts Steyr coach, who has the UEFA Pro license, has been without a club since the summer and already coached Bregenz in the 2016/17 season. DSV coach Rainer Spiegel would be another candidate if you don’t want to look beyond the borders. Gemaljevic as an internal club solution? With Srdan Gemaljevic, SW would also have an option in its own ranks – the 63-year-old Serb has already been coach in Bregenz twice, He also filled out virtually all of the official duties. He did not leave the club after being fired as coach in March 2020, so would be conveniently within reach.
