Steadfast: “I would like to thank you for your trust. It is not a matter of course that as a young coach I get such a chance. In the first talks, both sides noticed that this could be a good fit. It’s a big challenge for me because the second division is a big challenge for both the players and a coach. Amstetten presented itself well in the spring and I am pleased that I can be part of this association. For me, my first job as head coach is the next step in my development in professional football. “
