Christoph Peschek has prematurely extended his contract as managing director of Blau-Weiß Linz by three years until summer 2028. 

The original contract with the Viennese, who has been in this role at the current Bundesliga club since February 2023, would have expired at the end of the current season. Under Peschek, Blau-Weiß made the leap into the top flight and the Upper Austrians moved into their new stadium. The club is currently in third place in the table.

Record turnover
At a media event on Thursday, Peschek spoke of "growth in all areas of the club", he also referred to the record turnover of 9.8 million euros in the past financial year. "We want to establish FC Blau-Weiß Linz in the Bundesliga, continue to grow economically, further improve the infrastructure and develop the club into a medium-sized Bundesliga club," said the managing director.

Chairman of the board Hans Kalliauer praised the work of the 40-year-old. "Christoph and his team have done a tremendous job over the past two years, developing the club positively in all respects and making it much more professional. The entire club board is convinced that we will continue on this path together and establish the club in the Bundesliga in the long term," said Kalliauer.
