Austria Vienna-Supervisory Board Deals with Jürgen Werner and Stadium Deal

"There is agreement that I will stay. This has been clearly communicated," said Austria Vienna's Sports Executive Jürgen Werner to ORF after a supervisory board meeting on Thursday. Furthermore, the club's committee agreed to the sale of the stadium to the city of Vienna. The city council now has to approve the deal.

Austria Vienna Wants to Buy Back Jürgen Werner's Shares

However, Werner is soon to be history as an investor at Austria. The club wants to buy back his share in an investment group, which holds 49.9 percent of the shares, for a contractually fixed sum - rumoured to be 7.5 million euros. This is supposed to happen soon, as Austria has reportedly asked for an extension of the payment deadline until at least January 31, according to a report by Kurier (Friday edition). Austria wants to raise the sum through its patrons. The millions from the stadium sale to the city are not intended to be used for this purpose.
