hardly a day goes by without big news at GC. After the change of President Tomislav Stipic is now. The new GC coach announced on Friday and two days before the home game against Lugano, to waive five players from now until the end of the season: Raphael Holzhauser Shani Tarashaj, Julien Ngoy, Nikola Gjorgjev and Mersim Asllani.

It is the next big firecracker at GC. Holzhauser had only been in the last summer, the Austrians should be a key player, the Grasshoppers with the former head of sports, Mathias Walther called him “king of transfer” and gave him a Two-year contract with an Option.

To many players in the squad

Only Holzhauser was the expectations never meet. Also from Shani Tarashaj the Grasshoppers promised a lot, but the offensive players never really got going. He was injured either. Or was not fit enough for this level. And if Tarashaj played but once, his influence will be limited. Asllani finally came in the Winter, he received a contract until 2023. Ngoy has made, such as wood, Hauser, three League goals, in GC only, Marco Djuricin and Nedim Bajrami come otherwise to this value.

According to the Stipic there is “no going back” in this decision, “the now booteten player fit to my ideas”. In addition, he have too many players in the squad, until now, belonged to 28 professionals. Stipic also stated that he had made the decision “out of Conviction”. And said Holzhauser: “My expectations of him do not coincide with his performances. He can’t bring what I want.”
