Trailing in the lower rungs of the ADMIRAL 2. Liga table, ASK Voitsberg hosts Kapfenberger SV on Sunday in a crucial Round 12 fixture, LAOLA1 reported. The match kicks off at 10:30 local time (09:30 UTC) at the Sparkassen-Stadion in Voitsberg, Austria, with both Styrian clubs fighting to climb out of the relegation zone.
Club President Dismisses Head Coach After Derby Defeat
The fixture follows a turbulent week for the home side. A 2-0 defeat in the Styrian derby against Sturm Graz II proved decisive for former head coach Philipp Zulechner, whom the club relieved of his duties on Tuesday. MeinBezirk.at reported that club president Michael Münzer and sporting director Sebastian Szvetits pointed to unmet expectations in both results and team development as the catalyst for the change.
“We chose Philipp Zulechner as coach back then out of full conviction,” Münzer said, as reported by MeinBezirk.at. “However, the sporting development of our senior team and the results achieved did not meet our expectations.” Szvetits added that the club conducted a careful analysis of recent weeks before making the move to inject fresh momentum into the squad.
Stefan Nutz Takes Charge as Interim Head Coach
Former professional midfielder Stefan Nutz has stepped in as interim head coach to steady the team until a permanent successor is named. MeinBezirk.at noted that Nutz will direct his first match from the sideline on Sunday, aided by assistant coach Lukas Zottler and Stephan Palla. Voitsberg enters the weekend seeking consistency after alternating between a victory in Wels and the subsequent loss to Sturm Graz II.
Kapfenberger SV Momentum
While Voitsberg reorganizes its technical staff, Kapfenberg arrives in the upper Styrian region carrying positive form. The visitors have stabilized following a difficult opening stretch to the season, putting together a three-match unbeaten run. A victory on Sunday would allow the Falken to put more distance between themselves and the bottom tier of the 2. Liga standings.
