Mitter takes over alpine line: new ways despite Assinger conflicts!
Innsbruck, Österreich - The Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) has announced Christian Mitter's commitment today as the new sporting director of the Alpine division. Mitter, who has achieved success with athletes such as Aksel Lund Svindal and Henrik Kristoffersen in the past, returns from Norway and plays a crucial role in a turbulent phase for the association. He follows Herbert Mandl, who will take over the construction of an alpine base on the Arlberg, such as Laola1 reported.
Mitter will be officially presented next Wednesday in Innsbruck, where he will talk about his goals and plans for the ÖSV team. He will have to pay particular attention to the current situation around the women's head coach Roland Assinger. Allegations against Assinger, who address a "degrading and humiliating" tone of the tone, have led to a tense climate in the women's team. According to Kurier , the team is split into two camps in advance: supporters and critics of Assinger.
challenges and the course
Mitter, who acted as head coach of the ÖSV women from 2019 to 2022, had been appointed to the new position prematurely due to intensive discussions, although originally a appointment for 2026 was planned. Sports director Mario Stecher emphasizes the importance of this change and the strategic challenges that Mitter must now cope with. Some of the conflicts in the women's team have to be solved promptly because talks between the runners and Assinger are planned to Easter, such as Kleine Zeitung emphasized.
President Roswitha Stadlober has underlined the importance of respect and appreciation in the ÖSV. In order to promote these values, Stecher has launched a value workshop to help strengthen trust and willingness to perform within the team.
a new way for the ÖSV
Herbert Mandl, the previous sporting director, will be retained to the ÖSV and will build the alpine base in St. Christoph. This new task is characterized by a future FIS Alpine Ski World Cup in St. Anton, for which the entire organization wants to strategically prepare. Mandl will play an important role in establishing the Alpin base as a competence center for talent finding and development.
The change in the alpine line and the challenges in the women's team mark a decisive point for the future of the ÖSV. The upcoming steps and decisions will significantly decide how the association will act in the coming time and ultimately what successes can be achieved.
