Pacult: I can’t see him anymore!” – Sharp criticism of Gorenzel

Peter Pacult, former coach of Austria Klagenfurt, recently expressed his great disappointment with sports director Günther Gorenzel in a podcast. After his dismissal, Pacult takes a critical view of the events and sees Gorenzel as one of the main responsible for the club's predicament, which has found itself in a relegation battle. “I can’t see him anymore,” he explained emphatically and criticized Gorenzel for lying in public about his training methods. These statements come at a time when the club has taken a new direction since Carsten Jancker was installed as the new coach.

In recent times, Pacult has played a key role in Klagenfurt's sporting success by leading the team to qualify for the championship group in the Bundesliga despite limited resources. He demonstrated his passionate commitment to the club and the team during his time as coach in 156 games. Nevertheless, the current sporting misery led to the decision to part ways with Pacult, which was only a few weeks ago.

Criticism of Gorenzel

Pacult took the opportunity to vent his frustration with Gorenzel in his podcast “Gelb-Rot”. He emphasized that Gorenzel never communicated his lack of understanding of the training methods directly with him. Instead, Gorenzel's public statements conveyed the image as if Pacult had not acted in the best interests of the club. “I have always tried to protect the club and put myself in front of the team,” explained Pacult. The fact that there was a better exchange between him and the former sports director Matthias Imhoff made the situation all the more frustrating.

Although the two men have been in contact by telephone, they have not yet met in person. Pacult expressed his perspective on the whole thing and admitted that he had allowed himself to be led into certain emotions. In a post on Sky, he apologized and expressed that he had to correct some things to clear up misunderstandings. For his part, Gorenzel explained that he understands the emotions caused by criticism of his work.

Future of the coaching business

At this point it should also be noted the general developments in football, which also reflect Pacult's situation. Coach changes in Germany and other top leagues are increasingly being made hastily, often without a clear successor. This practice raises questions about whether fixed changing times for coaches could potentially be a solution to better protect them. While player transfers are subject to clear regulations, the coaching sector remains largely unregulated by such deadlines.

Overall, it can be said that Pacult's reckoning with Gorenzel and the situation at Austria Klagenfurt reflects one of the current topics in Austrian football. It remains to be seen whether Jancker's decision will be successful in the long term. The future remains uncertain for Pacult, who has had a remarkable career in football.
