FC Wacker Innsbruck blew up a bomb with a surprising change of manager.
At the end of the season, Thomas Grumser is no longer on the training bench. The Tyroleses announced this on Friday morning.
You had to wait until 2 p.m. for the successor. Now it’s clear: German Daniel Bierofka, 41, will inherit Grumser as head coach of FC Wacker and should be more suited to lead the season from Innsbruck to the Bundesliga again.
Bierofka was very connected in his career with 1860 Munich, as a player and then as a coach. The former midfielder was also recently involved with the lions. The former German team player (3 appearances, 1 goal against Austria) led Munich in 2018 to advance from the fourth to the third division. In the winter of 2019, he requested the termination of the contract for personal reasons.
Grumser is said to be in a different position at the club. However, the change of course is surprising because confidence in him and the ability to develop young players has been very high.
Therefore, everything suggests that the new German strategic partner in Hamburg had its fingers on this decision. Bierofka has a great name, but as a coach, in addition to moving from the fourth to the third division, he has little more to show than Grumser.
Safar becomes goalkeeping coach at FC Wacker
In addition to that, FC Wacker also has a well-known goalkeeper coach. Szabolcs Safar is launched from Austria Vienna. The 45-year-old played for the Tyrolese in his career from 2011 to 2014 and is now returning to the “Holy Land”.
“I can go one step further in my career in Innsbruck, which is why I took this opportunity. Of course, I was very happy to be with Austria Vienna, but in my position as goalkeeper coach you don’t have a chance for a new challenge that I take on so often in Innsbruck. Of course, I am very grateful to Austria for everything, but the concept there with new head coach Daniel Bierofka convinced me, “Safar said.
Austrias AG Sport board member Peter Stöger said: “It is a shame to leave us, I would have loved to have him with us. But he wanted a new challenge on his own and we don’t want to take this opportunity for him.” I got to know and appreciate him as a coach and person, I wouldn’t be personally surprised if he ever came back to us. “
