A sporting crisis, coaches gone, president under fire – LASK is stumbling in front of Helsinki.
The premiere of the Conference League and the opening match of LASK against HJK Helsinki on Thursday (6.45 p.m.) almost faded into the background. The season so far and especially the last few days have been too turbulent. After the 0: 2 against Austria on Sunday, the Linzers still hold only one league win, slipping to the penultimate position.
The consequence: Coach Dominik Thalhammer was fired on Monday. The previous assistant coach Andreas Wieland took over. After his debut against Helsinki, he will continue to play until the winter break.
Plagiarism allegations against LASK President Gruber
In addition, L ASK President Siegmund Gruber has been in the crossfire of criticism since Monday. He is accused by “plagiarism hunter” Stefan Weber of having committed “serious violations” of scientific practice.
