Christian Schaider should stay in Maxglan well beyond the summer. It will only be clear in the new year whether second division football will be possible there.
Austria Salzburg and coach Christian Schaider kept to their schedule. Bayern’s contract extension should be sealed before Christmas. It has been clear since Saturday: Schaider should lead the Violets into the next season – regardless of the league in which Austria will play. As league leaders in the West League, the club is currently on course for the championship title and is aiming for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. The 46-year-old A-license coach Schaider, who has been in office for six years and also acts as sports director, signed for a further two years and thus until summer 2026.
“A purple Christmas present”
The agreement was reached on Saturday morning. Afterwards, President Claus Salzmann was still skeptical towards the SN as to whether the board might approve the contract extension on the same day. The Austrians then published the decision in the evening. Chairman David Rettenbacher says: “We are pleased to be able to fill this key position in the club with Christian Schaider for another two years and are thus giving ourselves a purple Christmas present.” More work now awaits the Austria officials. Because the contracts with all players expire in the summer. “And if we get promoted, we will also need reinforcements,” says Salzmann.
Further decisions are to be made
Another important decision is still a long way off. Salzburg’s mayor Harald Preuner promised a “Christmas present” regarding a future at the Maxglan Stadium during the cup hit once morest Red Bull Salzburg. Some questions still remain unanswered. The construction negotiations for unrestricted continued use of the stadium are now scheduled for January 12, 2024. There will only be a license application in March if Maxglan is suitable for the second division, says President Claus Salzmann. What adaptations are necessary should be clear following the negotiation in three weeks. “There we will see where the journey goes.”
