Sporting director Altach Kirchler: “For the coach, every game is a game of destiny”

Joachim Standqvist has already had more enjoyable times as coach of SCR Altach. Although last season was far from easy, the hat is on fire early in the current campaign. The cup exit and the opening defeat to Tirol have angered sporting director Roland Kirchler.

It's boiling over in Altach. The Sky sporting director refutes rumours of a clash between Kirchler and Standfest: “Joachim and I are not at odds”. Standfest also agrees: “We have become mature people who can say things to each other's faces.”

However, Kirchler announced talks after the WSG defeat. And there it was: “We decided to continue with 'Jockey' (Joachim Standqvist, note) and see what the results are. For a coach, every game is a game of fate. Regardless of whether he is at the top or at the top. At the bottom there is pressure and you try to win every game.”

So resilience requires results. The coach remains convinced of the quality of his team: “If you compare training performance with performance on the pitch, the result is 100 and one.”
