New Sturm coach
Official! Sturm Graz introduces new head coach
The "Krone" had already reported it, now it's done: Fabio Ingolitsch is officially the new coach of champions Sturm Graz. The Salzburg native comes for a fee from Altach, where he would have had a contract until the summer. Contrary to initial reports, however, assistant coach Adthe Nuhiu will not be joining him in Graz for the time being.
The 33-year-old Ingolitsch from Salzburg joins Sturm from SCR Altach and takes over from Jürgen Säumel. This means that Sturm has already secured its new head coach before the start of training on January 2. Ingolitsch sat on the bench in 42 games (points average 1.14) at Altach, and now the Salzburg native, who has never been a professional himself, will take over the reins at Sturm. Next Friday, the 33-year-old will start the spring with the champions, and on January 7 he will leave for the training camp in Marbella.
The talks with Michael Parensen gave me an excellent feeling for this club and the philosophy that the club stands for.
Fabio Ingolitsch
"The opportunity to work for the reigning Austrian champions - a top club like Sturm - didn't make me think twice. The talks with Michael Parensen gave me an excellent feeling for this club, the philosophy the club stands for and the steps we want to take together - I can fully identify with this path," said Ingolitsch in a club statement. "I'm really looking forward to getting to know my team personally on January 2 and starting work immediately. The time until the first competitive match in Rotterdam is not long - we will work intensively and meticulously to be ready for the upcoming spring."
"Ideal candidate"
"We are delighted to be able to present Fabio Ingolitsch as the new head coach of SK Sturm," says sporting director Parensen. "In the intensive process of finding the right man for this important position, Fabio stood out as the ideal candidate right from the start. Thanks to his way of playing soccer, his expertise, his meticulousness, but also his energy and enormously positive charisma, he meets our requirements profile perfectly. Fabio will receive all the support he needs from us to find his feet as quickly as possible and get to work straight away. We are very much looking forward to working together and will do everything in our power to be successful with SK Sturm. I would also like to thank those responsible at SCR Altach for their cooperation and professional handling of this transfer."
Now, after turbulent weeks, peace will hopefully return to Graz, where the power struggle between sporting director Michael Parensen and coach Jürgen Säumel had a stranglehold on the club for too long. Ingolitsch, who spent the winter in ninth place with Altach, welcomes two new additions to the squad at the start of training: homecomer Jusuf Gazibegovic and Georgian new signing Gizo Mamageishvili.
