UFC Gaubitsch – Coach Berger had to leave

UFC Gaubitsch used the previous week without a game to assess the current situation. After the 3:1 victory in Grabern, they suffered defeats in the derbies against Fallbach and Hanfthal. If the next games against Asparn and Wildendürnbach do not turn things around, they face a spring in the sportingly worthless lower play-offs. A meeting of the sporting management ultimately revealed that coach Wolfgang Berger must pack his bags after two years.

The 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons had previously resulted in sixth place each because strong and weak performances constantly alternated. “During the meeting, it came out that the trust in me is no longer there because of the recent results.” “I didn’t expect it,” Berger was honest. He is currently staying with the club as coach of the U16s. “Maybe something will come of it after that,” said the outgoing coach.

Spacek: “He’s the poorest dog that it gets him”

Section leader Manuel Spacek stressed that the decision was not an easy one: “We are very grateful to him for the last few years.” After the Hanfthal match, it was as it often is in football: the weakest link is usually the coach. He is the poorest dog that it happens to him, but I can’t replace eleven players.” The official also took the players to task, but at the same time it was perhaps time for a change of direction.

“At the meeting, you sort of go through everything and then unfortunately have to make a decision,” said Spacek, who will be looking after the team himself in Asparn on Saturday. A new permanent solution is still being sought, but the official is aware: “It won’t be easy until winter. We’ll just call a few people we have in mind.”
