Peter Pacult is the new coach of SK Austria Klagenfurt. The ad hit like a bomb on Thursday morning (all info >>>).
After a mixed autumn, the Carinthians leaders, who described themselves as the number one candidates for promotion before the start of the season, were forced to give new impulses. Ten points behind leader Lafnitz was too much the management team around sporting director Matthias Imhof.
The experience of former Rapid Pacult master coach should help achieve the grand objective of promotion. “I will stand in front of them and I hope I can alleviate some of the pressure with my experience. I have a wide back and I am used to it,” the neo coach wants to take the pressure off his players.
“I am no stranger to Austrian football”
Pacult is not very surprised by the great interest in his engagement, after all, two big names meet: “Austria is an association with a long tradition and great ambitions. Those responsible do not hide this. And since I’m no stranger to Austrian football, it was to be expected that there would be a lot of interest. “
Pacult, who was also traded to SV Horn during the season, is looking forward to the task with the Violets after botched meetings in Eastern Europe. “An exciting task awaits me and we will work very hard to live up to expectations. Perhaps I will be able to convince those who are now critics,” the former forward also addresses the critics.
However, these would not cause a headache. “This is not a problem. Football is a very emotional story, everyone has their own opinion and everyone has the right to it. Throughout my career I have always been polarized, first as a player, then as a coach. And I never bowed, I didn’t bite the words. Not everyone appreciates it, “continues the 61-year-old.
Just words of praise for Micheu’s predecessor
In his future technical team, apart from the change from former coach Robert Micheu to Pacult, everything remains the same. So the first day at the new job involved a lot of time on the phone: “The cell phone didn’t stop. It was very important for me to get in touch with my new colleagues. I will take over from Robert Micheu above. I introduced myself to them and spoke with President Herbert Matschek by phone. They welcomed me very openly and I look forward to working with us. “
The former Munich 1860 manager declined to pass judgment on why the team did not perform as expected in the fall. He only had words of praise for his predecessor: “First of all, I would like to emphasize that Robert Micheu has done a great job over the last two years. He took over the team in a difficult situation for the club – not just athletically – and knew stabilize it. ” and overtake in the preseason. “
In any case, he is less interested in the past, his “gaze is directed forward.”
Time is running out
In addition to the tasks in the League, where his team’s squad is among “the strongest in the 2nd division”, the LASK in the cup is also waiting (information about the draw >>). After training began in early January, the first competitive ÖFB Cup match awaits the Viennese and his new team four weeks later:Time is short, but we accept the situation as it is. The same applies to the sweepstakes. LASK is without a doubt the clear favorite, but we will make it as difficult as possible for him and in the end we have nothing to lose. “
In general, I had the feeling that “the boys carry a rather heavy backpack”. Pacult wanted to take this away from them, said he had the “wide cross” for it.
