According to media reports, Peter Stöger will become the new head coach of SK Rapid. As reported online by ORF and the Kronenzeitung on Thursday, the 59-year-old will take over the position in the coming season.

Stöger is currently working as the sports director at Admira, which is still fighting for promotion in the 2nd league. The former Austria coach is expected to be presented as the new Rapid head coach next week.

Stöger will succeed Robert Klauß, who was dismissed in April. Since then, Stefan Kulovits has been serving as the interim head coach of the Green-Whites. Rapid is only competing for fifth place in the championship group of the Bundesliga, which is necessary to qualify for the European Cup play-off. The club did not want to comment on the reports about Stöger when asked.

Stöger was last active as head coach for Ferencvaros Budapest until December 2021, before that he managed Wiener Austria. With the "Veilchen," he won the championship title as a coach in 2013. As a player, Stöger also celebrated his greatest successes in the Austria jersey. After winning three championship titles with the Favoriten team, he also won the Bundesliga title with Rapid in 1996. The former international played over 100 matches for the Hütteldorf team.
