Who will follow Schicker?

“We couldn’t have made a better decision”

Andreas Schicker shaped Sturm's black and white club history for over six years as head of sport. His move to Hoffenheim became official on Wednesday. The "Krone" looks back on the era of the Upper Styrian - and looks into the crystal ball to see who could be his successor.

When Andi Schicker boarded the plane for Germany at Graz-Thalerhof Airport at 10:35 am on Wednesday, everything was already set. Sturm's sporting director, the mastermind behind million-dollar transfers such as those of Rasmus Höjlund (20 million) or Alexander Prass (up to 12 million) and the latest title story with championship titles and two cup wins, is moving to Hoffenheim.
