Fredl Tatar says Adieu: Health reasons end sky career!

Wien, Österreich - Alfred "Fredl" Tatar ends his long-term role as a TV expert at Sky Sport Austria. The 61-year-old faces health problems that hinder him when speaking, which led to his difficult decision. Tatar, who is about his 62nd birthday, was a formative figure on Austrian football television for over ten years and is now going a new way.

Despite his withdrawal, Tatar Sky is preserved as an online expert. He will give weekly football tips in the future and will continue to support his fans and followers. In his farewell, Tatar also expresses the desire for privacy and asks the public to show understanding for his decision, but without dismissing him as irrelevant.

A century talent says goodbye

Tatar's decision to end his work as a football expert happens shortly before his tenth anniversary at Sky. Since he joined the platform in 2015, he has made a name for himself through unconventional and humorous approaches and was recognized by Uwe König, Vice President Sports Editorial, as a "cult expert". King not only thanked the unforgettable TV moments that Tatar created, but also emphasized his differentiated perspectives on the game.

Marc Jenko, a well -known colleague, also expressed his gratitude. In an emotional Facebook post, he reminded of the numerous moments together and praised Tatar's ingenious analyzes that he delivered on TV during his time. Tatar not only worked in his role as an expert, but was also active as a player, including clubs such as Wiener Neustadt, Vienna, St. Pölten and the Vienna Sport Club. His coaching career led him through stations such as Lok Moscow and Admira Wacker.

Future plans in the online area

The decision to retreat from the television landscape is a heavy step for Tatar, which, however, will not completely withdraw from the public. In an online format, he will continue to offer his expertise, which shows that the commitment to football in his veins flows. "The most important thing is that I can continue to live out my passion for football," said Tatar.

Sports journalism, in which Tatar has made valuable contributions not only as a TV expert, but also as an analyst and columnist, includes far-reaching tasks. Experienced sports journalists, whether with print or online media, are required to master a variety of skills. Tatar thus focuses on the digital future, which is becoming more and more important. In times when many journalists work freelancer, it will be crucial to open up new niches in order to remain relevant in the future.

The fans can be excited to see how Tatar will play his strengths in this new role. His sound knowledge and experience will remain a profit for the football audience in the coming years. Farewells are often bitter, but the passion for sport remains unbroken.
