Sebastian Prödl, the head of youth national teams at the ÖFB, and U19 team coach Martin Scherb were pleased with the prominent addition to the coaching team.

Former ÖFB team striker Burgstaller ended his professional career after the end of the past season following a severe head injury sustained in a private altercation.
