The sporting director of the Bundesliga club SK Rapid, Markus Katzer, denied media reports on Friday about an already finalized commitment of Peter Stöger as the future head coach. "The fact is, there is no coach who has signed and there is no final decision," said the 45-year-old at a media event. The search or selection process is still ongoing.
Rapid Reports "Tendency"
However, Katzer also clarified that the circle of potential coaches has essentially "been reduced to three candidates." "There is a tendency, but we have scheduled talks with coaches for next week." The sports director also pointed out the fact that Admira and their sporting director Stöger are in the middle of the promotion battle in the 2nd league. "That's extremely inconvenient, they are playing in Liefering today," said Katzer.
Kulovits Remains in Coaching Staff
However, he confirmed that Rapid's current interim coach Stefan Kulovits will continue to be part of the coaching staff under the new coach. Regarding his own contract extension, Katzer only reiterated that it should be finalized before the home game against Sturm Graz.
