Blau-Weiß Linz presents Mitja Mörec: Change of coach with 70,000 euros!
Mitja Mörec is the new coach of Blau-Weiß Linz. The official presentation of the 42-year-old coach was just taking place after working at the Floridsdorfer AC. MÖREC succeeds Gerald Scheiblehner, who switched to the Grasshoppers Zurich at the end of June 2025. The change of coach not only has a significant change in personnel, but also a transfer fee that causes a stir in the Austrian football landscape.
MÖREC received a contract until 2027. In his previous position at FAC, he led the team to an impressive point cut of 1.67 out of 137 games. The greatest success of his coaching career was the runner -up title in the league second division in the 2021/22 season. Under Scheiblehner, Blau-Weiß Linz achieved sixth place last season, which is the best end result in the club history.
replacement and financial framework conditions
A transfer fee was due for the change of MÖREC, which is estimated at 70,000 euros. This sum is paid to FAC Vienna. Interestingly, part of the transfer, which Blau-Weiß Linz received for the change from Scheiblehner to the Grasshoppers Zurich, flows into the payment of MÖREC. In total, Blau-Weiß Linz received 150,000 euros for Scheiblehner, which means that the association has a plus of 80,000 euros due to the change of coach.
Sports director Christoph Schösswender emphasizes Mörec's human and sporty qualities and emphasizes that the decision for the new trainer is based on well -founded considerations.
context of the transfer payments in football
It is noteworthy that transfer payments for coaches in football are increasingly becoming a norm. According to a report by Sport Sky, transfer sums for coaches, such as the RB Leipzig asked for Julian Nagelsmann, are on the rise in international football. Names such as Adi Hütter and Marco Rose also show this new reality because their transfer sums are several million euros. This trend shows how valuable trainers have become in today's professional football.
Overall, the change from Mitja Mörec represents a strategic step for blue and white Linz, which takes into account both sporting and financial aspects. The association hopes to benefit from MÖREC's experiences and its previous success and continue the positive development.
