The madness of SKN

Now Semlic has also taken flight

The wave of departures at second division club St. Pölten is getting bigger and bigger! Sporting director Jan Schlaudraff and sporting director Tino Wawra have announced their departure at the end of the season, and after the 0-0 draw in Leoben, coach Philipp Semlic also announced his resignation - with immediate effect!

After the "Krone" reported on Thursday that sporting director Tino Wawra would also be leaving at the end of the season alongside sporting director Jan Schlaudraff, the board did not want to wait and agreed with Wawra to immediately terminate his contract, which runs until 2026.

The 44-year-old had been let go by promoted team BW Linz the previous year because he expected a lot from SKN's cooperation with Wolfsburg. However, he was not told that the Germans could pull out of the agreement early. Which, as is well known, they did. "I only do things in my life that I'm one hundred percent convinced of - that's no longer the case here," said Wawra on his departure. But it is also true what President Helmut Schwarzl told him on his journey: "We have not achieved the sporting goals we set ourselves with him."

And that's not all: After the 0-0 draw in Leoben, coach Philipp Semlic also announced his resignation with immediate effect: "Four months ago, Jan Schlaudraff and Tino Wawra convinced me to join the St. Pölten project. Due to the recent changes, I decided not to go down the new path."

The new path? Ah yes, St. Pölten is waiting for Santa Claus, who is rumored to be Australian . . .
