Rangnick and Pröll: A new course for Austria's football?

Bregenz, Österreich - Football in Austria is currently in focus after Josef Pröll was nominated as the new president of the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB). This happened during a three-hour meeting of the election committee, in which intensive discussions took place among the nine state presidents and the Bundesliga representative Philip Thonhauser. The official election will take place on May 18 at a general meeting in Bregenz, where a total of 13 people, including the state presidents and representatives of the Bundesliga, will vote. Nevertheless, there is a certain lack of understanding among the fans, and there is already the first headwind against the decision, as krone.at reports.

In a recent ORF show "The conversation with Susanne Schnabl", ÖFB team boss Ralf Rangnick commented on these developments. The new chairman of the supervisory board Josef Pröll was also present. Rangnick hope for a long term of Pröll, the fifth ÖFB president during his own three-year term. The team boss emphasized his hope that Pröll can advance football in Austria and develop sustainably. In an introductory discussion between Rangnick and Pröll, an atmosphere of trust and appreciation is prevailed, according to ORF.

Today, the ÖFB is not only responsible for the organization of football in the Alpine Republic, but also for the development of future-oriented measures that affect both top and amateur football. The opening of a new ÖFB training center in the Seestadt Aspern, Vienna-Donaustadt is a sign of the future-oriented development of football in Austria, whereby the costs between the ÖFB, the BUND and the City of Vienna are divided from, as from [Wikipedia] (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96 ÖLTERISTER_FU%C3%9Fball-Bund).
