Peter Stöger takes over the helm: New era at Rapid Vienna begins!

The fans of SK Rapid Vienna can breathe a sigh of relief: a new wind is blowing at the traditional club, because Peter Stöger is now officially in office. The coaching legend was presented almost a month ago, and now the first start of training is imminent. On Monday, June 23, the Prater really starts after the team previously completed sports medical tests. Stöger has already given some insights through his plans and the course of the first units, with captain Seidl, Jansson and other players will also be there to help shape the new course. According to Krone it will be exciting under Stöger's management in the coming year.

At the presentation of Stöger there was a happy reunion with President Alexander Wrabetz and sports director Markus Katzer. Together they looked at the big challenge that lies in front of Rapid. In his first statements, Stöger was convinced of the task at an association that has recently remained behind its own possibilities. "We want to convince the fans with our achievements," says Stöger, who looks soberly and without a specific goal into the coming season. This is also supported by today where it is reported that success is crucial.

A look at the story

The return of Peter Stöger has a special grade because it has already been celebrated in the past, including with the Viennese Austria. The decision to win Stöger for Rapid was quickly made, especially after Robert Klauß was released. According to Markus Katzer, an Austrian solution was deliberately searched for, and Stöger was seen as the ideal choice. President Wrabetz also confirmed that Stöger was the desired candidate from the start, which underlines confidence in his skills.

The coaching history of SK Rapid Vienna goes back to the 1974/75 season and is peppered with well -known names that have shaped the club. From Ernst Hlozek to Hans Krankl to Didi Kühbauer and Zoran Barisic - many coaches have left their traces in the club's history. Stöger is now involved in this team and will have the big task of bringing Rapid back into the road to success. The challenge not only begins in training, but already with the first competitive game that is due on July 24th and whose opponent has not yet been determined.

The next few weeks will be crucial for Stöger and his team. The first training session on Monday will be about defining clear structures and goals. With a clear concept, committed players and the support of the loyal fans, Rapid Vienna could be on the best way back to old strength. Fans can be excited to see what the coming months will bring - the countdown is running!
