Uli Forte will be presented on Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. as the new coach. How long his contract will run is not yet known. Sure but his contract is also for the Challenge League should be relegated to the Club. The GC-guide attests Forte “valuable experience in athletically challenging situations”. And: “His in-depth knowledge and experience in the Swiss soccer , as well as his ties with the Grasshopper Club Zürich were important criteria in the decision-making of sports realignment.”

does not change But only the leadership of the team in GC, as the Club announced in a media release. The Board of Directors has decided on Monday evening, “a fundamental, structural and personnel realignment for the Grasshopper Club Zürich”. It is clear that the previous Board of Directors Georges Perego leaves the record master, he is resigned. Perego, responsible for the field of Sport, in particular the obligation of Tomislav Stipic as a coach in the criticism.

A former professional for the VR?

The new Chairman of the Board Stephan Rietiker has proposed that the major shareholders far-reaching organisational changes. The field of Sport should be separated from the Administration. In the search for a Perego replacement Rietiker focuses on professional guidance by experts, the future Board member must “have a wide experience in the field of sport and football in Particular”. Favorite Rietiker was a former professional with analytical and strategic skills. The discussions with possible candidates should be well advanced.

Also, the Grasshoppers are likely to commit a new head of sports. This is in addition to the new coach, probably the second most important person in the Club, at the operational level. Even more significant could be who is the managing Director. Manuel Huber has recently left a good impression and is complicit in the sporting and financial misery, he has to go so soon. The new CEO should be before the end of the season set.

In its media release, the record Champions also adopted Tomislav Stipic. The German was only 33 days GC Trainer. Rietiker says: “We have to act, the interim targets are not achieved and had to.” But who reads the Communiqué, you must still ask yourself, why Stipic already had to go. GC writes: “We have worked with Tomi. His skills as a Trainer and educator, become for each of us. That he has taken in a sporty, extremely difficult Phase of responsibility, we will not forget him, and thank him very warmly.” And GC is then also: “The Grasshopper Club Zurich is convinced that the football world will hear in the future of Tomislav Stipic.” (ukä.)
