Standstill at FC Südtirol

At least this seems to be the case, as the FCS leadership has not yet come to any significant decisions for the future. On the one hand, a motion for “ripescaggio” would be on the agenda. However, such a request requires considerable financial effort and does not automatically guarantee eligibility to participate in the I. Division - so it is understandable that the club's leadership approves a corresponding pause for remembrance.

The situation is different in the dispute between Luca Piazzi and Hans Rudi Brugger. A week ago, in an interview with SportNews, the long-time FCS captain launched a round-the-clock attack on the sports director and loudly emphasized: “Either Piazzi goes or I go.” The statements caused a real earthquake in the club's environment and only a short time later the player was threatened with legal action. Since then, however, there has been radio silence. Although Brugger is said to have had an open conversation with majority owner Hans Krapf, there was sometimes no clear commitment from the club to Luca Piazzi. This could put to rest any rumors that the controversial sports director's expiring contract will not be extended after all.

Many contracts are expiring

The issue of contract extensions is currently being handled with kid gloves at FC Südtirol. Who is in charge as sports director? Who will fill the coaching position? Which players are staying? Many unresolved questions. In addition to goalkeeper Davide Zomer, who was declared persona non grata due to his freak out against Ravenna, as well as Hannes Kiem and Alessandro Furlan, only a few other current squad players have a working paper for the coming season. Some top performers such as Pietro Cascone and Marco Martin have expressed interest several times in wanting to play at the Drusus Stadium in the future, but the decision-makers at the club sometimes remain silent. Both Cascone and Martin should have offers from other clubs.

However, no decision in the Piazzi case and no advance in squad planning are expected before the middle of next week. Only then will the sporting future of South Tyrol's only professional club be specifically discussed at a board meeting - in the hope that we are not already faced with a fait accompli.

Standstill at FC Südtirol

The relegation from the I. Division, the Zomer case and finally the all-round blow from captain Hans Rudi Brugger. There is a lot of fire under the roof at FC Südtirol. At the club's headquarters on Cadornastrasse, however, people seem to want to keep a cool head.
