Rene Glatzer takes over the management of the Austria-academy

Most recently, Glatzer was responsible for the athletic development and concept development for Austria Wien’s rookies (U7 to U14). As a junior manager, the longtime ‘Violet’ was already the 'right-hand man' of long-standing Academy Director Ralf Muhr, for whom the Austria-Academy will continue to have a very high priority in his function as Technical Director.

"In the last twelve years, Rene has done an excellent job as a junior coach and LAZ-Manager, he is the ideal man for this position, and Austria Wien cannot do any better in this situation. I am delighted that Rene has agreed to take this next step," emphasizes Technical Director Ralf Muhr.

The ideal man at the ideal time

The new Academy Director Rene Glatzer is aware of the great responsibility his new job brings, "Ralf left huge footsteps to fill, so I asked for some time to think about it. I think that such opportunities do not happen very often in life. I approach this task with enormous joy."

The Austria-Academy’s top goal is and remains the education of young players for Austria Wien’s A-team. "We want to continue to fill the ‘Young Violets’ and Austria Wien’s A-team, with our Academy’s rookies," explains Muhr.
Glatzer embodies the individual training of the academy

The decision for this recruitment comes at the right time as well since the coaching teams and squad members of the academy teams are ready for the new season. In addition, Glatzer knows every single coach and player of the Austria-Academy very well, he has also been supervising the individual special trainings for the most talented ‘Young Violets’ with Ralf Muhr, for the past ten years.

"Rene stands for the individual training of players like no other and is therefore my guarantee that the academy continues to go in the right direction. He knows exactly what the content is about and how our cooperation with the ‘Ballsportgymnasium’ works - the education of our young players is still very important to us," says Muhr.

Having our finger on the pulse as pioneers

On the one hand, in his new function, Glatzer wants to build on the outstanding work of the Academy in recent years, on the other hand, he wants to set new impulses himself, "I do not have to reinvent the wheel. We have done a great job in recent years - that's what we can build on. Our aspiration however, is to keep our finger on the pulse and to be pioneers. I think my input can be very valuable for that. In cooperation with all trainers of Austria Wien, we want to continue to lead the Academy as successfully as ever."
