Quake at the Salzburg handball club! After one season, managing director Patrick Fuchs resigns from his position. The UHC is thus losing an important man who saw a lot of potential in Salzburg. He could not turn down the job offer.

Patrick Fuchs is leaving Union Handball-Club Salzburg at the end of the season! The club caused a stir with this announcement on Friday evening. "Unfortunately, Patrick Fuchs will be leaving us for a job abroad at the end of the season and will therefore resign from his role as managing director for the coming season and will no longer be available as a player," the club wrote.

A surprising decision, as Fuchs, who moved to the city of Mozart from France, wanted to make a difference. "I see a lot of potential," he told the "Krone" newspaper in the fall.

Job offer was too good
But he couldn't turn down a very good job offer from the Netherlands. "My partner and I got a very good offer," Fuchs told the "Krone". He feels very sorry for the club: "I would really have liked to continue on the path we have taken myself. But I am convinced that the club can do it without me." He will still provide support in the search for a successor.
