Turmoil at the ÖFB
U20 team boss Spilka has to resign before the World Cup
The ÖFB is in turmoil: Hannes Spilka, head coach of the U20 women's team, has been forced to resign just a few weeks before the World Cup in Colombia. The reason is "incidents requiring clarification", as the association announced in a press release on Monday.
Oliver Lederer will take over as team manager on an interim basis and prepare the team for the World Cup, which takes place from August 31 to September 22.
Cryptic association statement
"The ÖFB has received information about incidents in the environment of the U20 women's national team that require clarification. Following a comprehensive investigation into the matter, the team manager of the U20 women's national team has been fully relieved of his duties with immediate effect," reads the cryptic association statement from early Monday evening.
The privacy of those involved must be protected under all circumstances, "therefore we ask for your understanding that no further details will be given," the ÖFB said.
The Austrians will face Japan, New Zealand and Ghana at the World Cup in Colombia.
