Altach's new sports director Netzer sets confidence in trainer Ingolitsch!

The Austrian Football Association Altach faces a crucial phase in which both the sports director and the coach have to master new perspectives and challenges. After coach Ingolitsch was able to complete the past season with difficulty and relegation on the last match day, he was under pressure. Nevertheless, the new sports director Netzer records him and offers him a new chance, which is a daring decision in view of Ingolitsch's controversial season. According to Kleine Zeitung It is of central importance to maintain an open exchange with Ingolitsch To meet squad planning and in the coaching team.

In addition to the coaching question, a new athletic coach and a video analyst are required to further develop the team. Ex-goalkeeper Martin Kobras and the former player Michael Langer are discussed as candidates for tasks in the club. Netzer emphasizes the need to get into action and to improve the quality of the squad, which should be done not only through new obligations, but also through a close connection between professionals, juniors and academy.

Change of coach and their effects

The decision to stick to a trainer, as Altach's new sporting management does, is not unusual in football. Change of coaches are often a common practice if clubs are confronted with insufficient services. Scientific studies, including sports scientists from the TU Kaiserslautern, show that the effects of such changes are inconsistent. Around half of the albums of coaching changes lead to a positive increase in performance, while the other half does not confirm this.

Ingolitsch is therefore responsible for proving yourself quickly and winning the team behind. Dissatisfaction within the players can lead to loss of performance that may be overcome under a new trainer. The phenomenon is also considered in the context of club goals: Where Bayern Munich strives for the triple, Altach has to work with more modest goals and strives for a place in the area of ​​eight or nine in the table, as managing director Christoph Längle mentioned.

Netzer is aware of the challenges and emphasizes that new obligations are not just about quantity, but also about meaningfulness. In addition, the new sports coordinator Eric Orie, who is considered a specialist, is intended to strengthen the bond between the different teams in the club and promote a continuous development process. According to Süddeutsche Zeitung , a single victory can give short-term momentum, but long-term successes are often unsure. The art of changing the coach is to learn the past and to actively shape the future.

The coming months could be crucial for the future of Altach and Ingolitsch. Only if both sides master the challenges and consequently in the implementation of the planned measures will it be possible to control the association in more stable fairway and achieve the desired goals.
