SAK brings a new assistant coach: goal relegation in the coming season!

The Sportclub SAK has taken a step towards an improved future by hiring a new assistant coach a week before the start of summer preparation. Lukas Tragner, a 33-year-old B license coach, takes on the role and replaces Norbert Nemeth, who moves to Vienna. Trainer Florian Königseder is optimistic that the SAK, who ended up in the 12th place last season, does not want to have to do with the relegation battle and aims at the secure midfield.

Königseder emphasizes that the squad planning has already been completed. Those responsible can already look back on successful transfers in winter and a sporting increase in spring. Among other things, Michael Perlak von Kuchl, Simon Leibetseder from Rohrbach, Alois Pühringer from Pettenbach and Ernes Pasic from Plainfeld are new to the squad. However, the fans also have to say goodbye to some players. The departures include Tobias Hochleitner (Schwarzach), Matthias Gallei (Vienna), Muhammed Hamzic (Hallwang), Arber Tafilaj (Traunstein) and Hamid Najebullah, whose new club is still unknown.

a co-trainer with experience

Lukas Tragner has a lot of experience, even if he has taken a longer break due to his studies. He was active as a player for Neumarkt, Hallwang, Berndorf and Henndorf, among others, and was 2022 co-trainer in Plainfeld. From a sporting point of view, his knowledge, especially in video analysis, could benefit the team. Trainer Königseder emphasizes that carrier is able to learn and determined what will be an advantage for the upcoming challenges.

The role of the co-trainer has changed a lot in recent years.

So you play a key role in the support of the main coach, planning and implementing training sessions as well as the game analysis. You are also important for individual player development and communication in a team, such as [Cotrainer.com] (https://www.cotrainer.com/blog/dierolle-des-des-coters-fur-fussball training) describes.

Florian Hart becomes the new assistant coach of Ferdinand Feldhofer and has five years of coaching experience, including from the U18 of FC Red Bull Salzburg.
