There is no peace at Carinthian League club Völkermarkt! Even the successor to coach Franz Polanz has already left due to illness. Now two players are taking over. Curious: Neither of them is on the bench for the home game against the amateurs of Austria Klagenfurt. .

Things are hotting up at Carinthian League club Völkermarkt! After the dismissal of coach Franz Polanz, Miljenko Safran was supposed to take over the reins. But because he has contracted shingles, players Matthias Maierhofer and Oliver Kuester (the third coaching team within a week!) will coach the team for the rest of the season.

Curious: Because Maierhofer is suspended with yellow-red and Oliver Kuester is on the pitch himself, neither of them will be on the bench for the home game (19) against Austria Klagenfurt's amateurs on Friday. "Goalkeeper coach Andreas Kuster will be coaching. I also hope that Philip Grilz will be back," said sports boss Mario Kuester. Grilz was dismissed together with Polanz during the week. Now he is to be brought back.

Section head resigned voluntarily
Manfred Opetnik has voluntarily resigned from his position as head of the Völkermarkt section. Reason: He was scheduled to be the new chairman of the entire club. But he has now canceled. Also because of the change of coach. "I wouldn't have sacked Polanz. I didn't see the need."

ASK better than the leaders
In the Regionalliga Mitte, ASK travel to leaders Voitsberg on Friday. If you look at the last seven games, ASK have even scored more points here (15) than the Styrians (14). Coach Thuller: "But we are very short of substitutes, it will be difficult." Ahacic (fifth yellow) is suspended, Selman and Dierke are injured. The 2-0 defeat of the WAC foals against Bad Gleichenberg was sanctioned by a 3-0 scoreline. Wolfsberg had made one player change too many.
