“Cozy,” so cozy, it’s called President Stephan Rietiker the hall “Bernina” in the Restaurant Au Premier in Zurich, where he presented at 10 a.m. Uli Forte as a new coach to the media. If the designated GC-Boss says with a comfortably tight, it should be so. The interest in the successor of Tomislav Stipic had to cancel after only 33 days in his tent in Zurich again, is great. The Rietiker and Forte said at the hastily arranged media conference on …

… the bad reception the Fans: After a strong 2012/13 season (rank 2), the GC with the Cup race victory crowned, joined Forte overnight to YB. The Fans now have little joy at the return of the “traitor” that showed them with Transparent, which they had hung in the night on Tuesday in the GC Campus, and even before Forte’s apartment. Forte: “I understand the disappointment. I would make my exit. The way was brutal.”

The 44-year-old Zurich makes nothing of it. “I don’t expect to be on Campus all clap when I come in. I want to try to bring heart and passion of each individual Fan on my page,” he says. Switching to YB Forte not regret but. “What many people don’t know: I have met the woman of my life. Therefore, it was a great Transfer for me,” he says. Rietiker supports its new bearers of hope: “We will be looking for with the Fans of the conversation. That a certain amount of frustration is present, I understand. I’ll take note of that, but you do not need to read too much into it.”

… the coach: of The GC-Boss has already promised at his inauguration that he will act quickly. He has kept his word. Tomislav Stipic had to after only 5 Games (2 defeats, 3 draws). “I will not let me accuse that I have acted too late,” says Rietiker. “The points rate is purely rational is not enough for the League. We have tested the commitment of Stipic and the coach question.” He then recommended a new coach to adjust. Ten days ago he, accompanied by a Headhunter, have been added to the process. On Monday, Forte has signed a contract until the summer of 2021. Rietiker: “With him we appreciate the opportunity for the League as possible.” Should that not be the case, will Forte stay in the Challenge League.

… the Chance to win the League: “It’s a very, very difficult Situation, but not impossible,” says Forte. “The players have recently been much in a fight.” It is now for him to do so, you as quickly as possible. The quality for the League was available. “GC has too little chances to score, shoots a lot of little goals. Tactically, I’m going to apply some leverage, without neglecting the Defensive.”

… a possible return of the sorted players: “A new coach means a new Chance,” says Forte. He wanted to be impartial, to which, and only once the conversation with the players searching, determine why it came at all so far. The affected player: Arlind Ajeti, Julien Ngoy, Mersim Asllani, Shani Tarashaj, Nikola Gjorgjev, and Raphael Holzhauser. In the case of the Austrian, however, this is not possible. Rietiker: “The contract with Holzhauser was dissolved, and he was paid.” (ete)
