Jürgen Säumel, until recently coach of the two-man and Youth League team, takes over the coaching sceptre at Sturm until the winter break. The former captain of the Black & Whites in an interview with "Krone": His goals, his game idea, his team and his anticipation for the last home game. Plus: an update on the search for a sporting director.

"Krone": Jürgen, congratulations on being promoted to interim head coach of the club close to your heart, for whom you have played 189 games. What is currently going through your mind?
Jürgen Säumel: I am grateful to the president and the board for the opportunity. Sturm has done a very good job in recent years. The aim is, of course, to continue this and maintain the many positive things.
