Peter Stöger becomes the new Admira sporting director

The 57-year-old will succeed Marcel Ketelaer at the Lower Austrians. Admira was relegated from the Bundesliga last year and only recently secured relegation in the second division in the last round. “I’m happy to be able to take on a task here at Admira that I find very exciting,” said Stöger during his presentation. “You can move a lot here and get something going.” Immediate promotion to the Bundesliga is not the stated goal for the coming season. “I’m a serious worker, not a magician,” emphasized Stöger, who signed a contract without a fixed term. The club will take the matter seriously.

“We are starting a new era together,” said club president Christian Tschida. Admira’s place is in the Bundesliga, “to achieve this goal, we need the best minds and the perfect environment.” Tschida also announced that Flyeralarm will be the main sponsor of the club for three more years, but that the club will get its traditional name back with the 2024/25 season. In addition, talks are being held with a foreign Champions League participant about a possible cooperation in the coming season.

Under Stöger, Wiener Austria won their last championship title in the 2012/13 season. After that, the former team player was successful as a coach in Cologne and Dortmund for a long time. After returning to Austria in the summer of 2019, first as a sports director, then as a coach and sporting director, Ferencvaros Budapest followed as the last station so far. However, Stöger only trained the Hungarian record champions for six months until December 2021. Most recently, Stöger worked as a TV expert at Sky, which he will continue to do.
