Cancellation from Krefeld

Rebuffed! “Herbie” will not return to VSV

Herbert Hohenberger was at the top of VSV's wish list for a new assistant coach. After several talks, it is now finally clear that the German second division club Krefeld will not be letting the 55-year-old go. Now two more names are on the Villach team's list. . .

No chance! Herbert Hohenberger was at the top of VSV's wish list for the assistant coach position - as reported by the "Krone". But now the 55-year-old has finally had to say no to the Eagles. Because yesterday the decision was made: "Herbie" will not get out of his three-year contract with the German second division club Krefeld - club boss Peer Schopp will not let his "co-coach" go. "The time for the club to find a replacement is too short," explained the VSV legend.

Two ex-Villach players on the list
So if VSV still want Hohenberger next season, they will have to approach the Germans soon enough. And now? VSV now have two ex-cracks on their list as "co": Stefan Wiedmaier (42), most recently assistant coach at Augsburg. And Marco Pewal (45), head coach at Alps club Kitzbühel.
