For weeks, the blue and yellow soccer world has been waiting for an answer to the coaching question at second division club Stripfing. Now we have the first: Head of Sport Alex Grünwald will remain in a dual role until the winter break. However, his permanent successor is to be presented before the start of preparations. 

"It is important to us that we see a clear development in a positive direction. That's why we decided to continue working in this constellation," explains the 35-year-old.

You can't really disagree with him, as the ex-Austria captain initiated a turnaround at his old and new place of work, the Generali-Arena. Although there were narrow defeats against Voitsberg and Lafnitz at the interim start, the Cup sensation against former arch-rivals Rapid heralded the start of a second spring in the fall.

Which is now set to continue. Since then, they have finally scored again, drawing twice recently. However, the first league treble in "Grüni's" coaching career is still missing. Maybe it will happen after the international break on Sunday in Lustenau.
