Jürgen Säumel remains head coach of Sturm Graz
White smoke in Graz-Messendorf! Sturm have made their decision: Jürgen Säumel will continue as head coach of the Austrian champions in the spring. The club confirmed this on Tuesday. The 40-year-old from Neumarkt is to sign a long-term contract.
A decision was expected before Christmas. Now it is here: Jürgen Säumel will remain as Sturm coach and succeeds Christian Ilzer as a permanent solution.
"I am delighted that Jürgen and his team were able to convince our Managing Director Sport Michael Parensen," said President Christian Jauk. This is another sign of continuity in our work. I wish Jürgen and the entire coaching team every success for the future."
Record start against Klagenfurt
Säumel returned to SK Sturm as head coach of the second team last winter and took over as interim coach from Christian Ilzer on November 15. In the final phase of the fall season, he managed three wins and a draw with the team in five games. On his debut as interim coach, he was able to celebrate a historic 7:0 victory against SK Austria Klagenfurt. He also led the Black & Whites to their first victory in the 2024/2025 UEFA Champions League season with a 1-0 win against FC Girona. Assistant coaches Michael Madl and Sargon Duran will also remain with the coaching team.
Säumel: "It is a great honor to take on the role of head coach at SK Sturm. I would therefore first and foremost like to thank the club management for their trust. We are now looking forward to the start of training on January 3, preparations for which are already in full swing."
