“We got off to a great start. You might also see the character of the team, which always wanted more,” said Ried coach Maximilian Senft following the clear 4-0 win in the 2nd football league at SKN St. Pölten. With the away win, the Innviertel team has secured second place three rounds before the end of the season: the Vikings are already five points ahead of third place Leoben.
The Senft team is currently “Best of the Rest” behind champions GAK – they want to be at the top themselves in the coming season. Ried might have to do without its standard king: The Innviertler are the best standard team in the second highest division, and in addition to the players, goalkeeper coach Hubert Auer is primarily responsible for this. The 42-year-old is responsible for the standard situations for the second division club – but according to OÖN information, he has not yet extended his contract, which expires in the summer. With Auer, Ried would lose another club veteran: the Carinthian native has been with the club as a goalie coach since 2013. (rawa)
