Bang effect

SCR Altach part ways with women’s coach Summer

After three years in which Bernhard Summer achieved a great deal with the Altach women's Bundesliga team, the coach has now had to vacate his chair. Team manager Jakob Jakob and sporting director Tobias Thies were already on the sidelines for the pale 0-0 draw in Bergheim.

SCR Altach's women were held to a meagre 0-0 draw against Bergheim, but that wasn't the main issue for the Rheindörflers yesterday.

The bombshell came the day before, when coach Bernhard Summer had to vacate his chair after the final training session following a discussion with sporting director Tobias Thies. Summer, who had offered to step in one last time due to the last-minute separation, did not make the away trip to Bergheim - Thies himself was in charge of the team for the pale performance in Salzburg. "It was amicable in the end. A lot of things were no longer as they should have been," says former coach Summer, "I will now take a step back and enjoy the evenings off with my family."

Great development
Summer had been in charge of Altach since December 2021 and had ensured a major development. "Of course it hurts me a little because of the team, it was a close bond," he regrets.
