The Austrian Gerald Scheiblehner is apparently set to become the new GC coach. The 48-year-old is already referring to himself as such on Instagram. However, the Grasshoppers have yet to confirm this.

GC has apparently found what it was looking for in its search for a new coach. The successor to Tomas Oral, whose contract was not extended, will be Gerald Scheiblehner. The 48-year-old Austrian was previously coach at Blau-Weiss Linz and surprisingly led the club to the final round of the Austrian Bundesliga last season.

On Monday afternoon, the club confirmed the departure of its coach and wrote: "Head coach Gerald Scheiblehner will leave FC Blau-Weiss Linz with immediate effect and move abroad." Scheiblehner himself already describes himself as a GC coach on Instagram.
