New contract for Thomas Letsch

CEO Markus Kraetschmer: "In recent weeks, we have dealt in great detail with the head coach and people have come to the conclusion that Thomas Letsch should continue his work. Thomas has convinced us and enjoys our fullest confidence."

That the decision-making process has now extended over a longer period of time can be seen as a quality feature. "We searched intensively and questioned a lot according to our high standards. We explored the market very closely, so of course a lot of discussions were needed in order to finally come to a clear decision," adds Kraetschmer.

Sports Director Franz Wohlfahrt: "Our profile of requirements was clear, and accordingly, we selected the candidates worth considering. We have now decided to go this way together with Thomas Letsch, we appreciate his work and expect to see a successful Austria Wien during the coming season. With the decision for our coach being made, the analytical process is completed for me, now we have to start implementing. Everyone has their ideas, which now have to be channeled in the right direction."

Letsch has been head coach since February 27^th, 2018, when he took over the team from Thorsten Fink. Details on the coaching team will follow, content-related discussions have of course already been held.

Thomas Letsch: "I am already looking forward to the challenge and can promise that we will all work very hard to be successful. We will begin pushing ahead our plans for the squad as soon as possible to build something new for the coming season in the new stadium as quickly as possible. We've already started to give the team a different style, and now we need to follow up on that. We want to set up a powerful force to create something amazing that we can all be proud of. I'm looking forward to the task."
