Change of coach at Korneuburg: Major must go after 0: 4 defeat!

Korneuburg, Österreich - The SK Sparkasse Korneuburg officially separated from coach Roman Mähtlich. This decision was announced on Saturday, but the announcement will be made on social media on Tuesday. In addition to his task as a trainer, the office of sporting director will no longer be practiced. The association justifies the step with the sporting development of the team as well as a professional situation.

The abrupt resignation raises questions about the stability of the association. The coaching office had only taken over in winter and had to lead the team to modest performance. His last game as a coach ended with a clear 0: 4 defeat against the SKN Juniors, which further increased the worries about the sporting future of the association.

Return of Gerald Schalkhammer

In a surprising turn, Gerald Schalkhammer returns as a trainer and sporting director. Those responsible for the association apparently met the decision to get Schalkhammer back on board to bring a breath of fresh air and new impulses to the team. This restructuring could also be interpreted in response to the resulting performance problems.

The sporting development that led to the separation of Mähtlich raises questions about the influence of coaching changes in football. A comprehensive analysis from the Performance Sports journal illuminates the effect of such change on the success of teams over a period of 32 years in the Bundesliga. This empirical study shows that the change of trainers can have both positive and negative effects on the performance of the teams. The study pointed out that comparisons with similar teams can help control possible interference variables. But the question remains: How will this change of coaches specifically affect SK Sparkasse Korneuburg?

In view of the previous sporting development and the challenges with which the team is confronted, the coming time will be decisive. The association faces the challenge of regaining lost stability and consolidating identity in the league. While the fans hope for a positive turn, it remains to be seen how the return of Gerald Schalkhammer will affect the team.
