After Tomas Oral's departure at the weekend, the GC management team led by sporting director Alain Sutter quickly found a successor. Scheiblehner was allowed to leave Blau-Weiss Linz for a foreign country thanks to a contractually agreed transfer fee. He exercised this option on Sunday evening.
"We experienced unforgettable moments together. We very much regret his departure, although we naturally understand his big dream of working abroad as a head coach," said Linz CEO Christoph Peschek, expressing his appreciation for Scheiblehner. In the last four years, Scheiblehner had managed to get the team promoted to the top league and last season he made it into the Championship Group of the top six teams.
In Zurich, Scheiblehner is to implement the "new sporting direction" announced by Sutter at the barrage participant of the last two seasons. GC will start training for the new football year on Thursday.
