After 0:4 home debacle
Austria coach Michael Wimmer faces the end
The immediate departure of Austria coach Michael Wimmer seems to be sealed. Co-coach Christian Wegleitner is to take over for the last few games.
Michael Wimmer's 57th competitive match in charge of Austria - will it be his last for Violett?

The alarm bells had already rung after the 2-0 defeat in Lustenau, but they wanted to give Wimmer the chance to pull the cart out of the mud at home against Wolfsberg - a total failure, 0:4, the highest defeat of the season.

Now, however, the clock has probably struck zero for him ...
