It is no surprise that Andreas Wieland would remain LASK head coach beyond the winter (the OÖN reported). Yesterday, the contract extension with the 38-year-old, who led the athletes to the last sixteen of the UEFA Conference League, was made official by the Bundesliga club until June 30, 2024. “Since I’ve been sports director, I’ve been able to see how meticulously our coach goes about his work every day. Despite many absences and the resulting constant personnel changes, he has achieved the important turnaround. Under him, LASK has found its club philosophy again,” said Radovan Vujanovic.
The bare numbers speak a clear language in favor of Wieland, who recently found the track with the black and whites in the Bundesliga and kept the chance of moving into the championship group. Across all competitions, LASK scored an average of 1.89 points in the 19 competitive games under Wieland, who replaced Dominik Thalhammer on September 13th.
“I am very happy that LASK has now expressed their confidence in me and that I can continue on the common path,” emphasized Wieland, who emphasized the “excellent cooperation” with Vujanovic and expressed his special praise to his team: “The team has had a few weeks and months in which I was allowed to work with her, showed great morals again and again. She didn’t let herself down when faced with setbacks. That impresses me very much, “said the coach, who has a UEFA Pro license.
