Talks underway
Darabos now relies on former world champion as advisor
Norbert Darabos is relying on Werner Schlager as an advisor for his candidacy for the presidency of the table tennis association. This was announced in a press release from the Salzburg regional association.
According to the statement, Darabos and Schlager had a two-hour "friendly" conversation in Vienna on Tuesday. He had asked Schlager "to be much more available to the ÖTTV in the future with advice and support than in the past", Darabos reported.
Schlager agreed and would act as Darabos' advisor if he was elected. The press release stated that the former world champion "would want to concentrate on his core competence, the immediate sporting area. He has actually already been prepared to do this in the past. He would like to help individual players or groups with his experience, for example with virtual training opportunities."
Darabos will be supported by Schlager and Liu Jia, who would act as sports director and vice president. The controversial ÖTTV President Wolfgang Gotschke and ÖTTV Sports Director Stefan Fegerl could be replaced. Allegations of psychological violence and neglect of players and coaches against the duo became public last year. Both had categorically denied this. Nevertheless, the conflict had led to massive rifts within the association. It is still unclear whether Gotschke/Fegerl will run with their own list in the election at the general assembly on March 30.
