Wiener Austria aims to "set a new impulse" with the separation from sports director Ortlechner

At the end of August, Austria Wien's sports board member Jürgen Werner officially resigned. "After the resignation of Jürgen Werner as sports board member and a comprehensive analysis, we saw the need to set a new impulse in the sports management," said board member Harald Zagiczek in a club statement. The new sports director Michael Wagner has already been active as a member of the club's supervisory board in recent years.

The former professional spoke of a very appealing new task. "The club knows, based on its strategic orientation, where it wants to go and how it intends to get there. I can fully identify with this path and want to further develop this approach together," said Wagner. A key factor is to create a balanced squad structure of young and experienced players.
