Will he look after Austria's ski men in the future?

“In principle, I would be interested in considering the head coach position,” said the 47-year-old coach of the ÖSV slalom men on Monday when asked by APA. Puelacher announced last weekend at the World Cup races in Norway that he would no longer continue in his role after the season. As is often the case at the end of the season, the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) is undergoing a personnel shake-up. In addition, there will be a home World Cup in Saalbach-Hinterglemm in 2025. It is important to set the course for this.

Women's racing leader Christian Mitter also recently announced his departure at the end of the season. The ÖSV itself had previously announced that the former long-term women's boss Herbert Mandl was returning to the sports sector as overall Alpine manager. Mandl was most recently in charge of the ski academy in St. Christoph am Arlberg. Pfeifer recommends The current ÖSV Alpine boss Patrick Riml would also be an available person. Another gap could be closed with Pfeifer. “I have been a technical trainer for 21 years, including nine years in slalom in Austria. And I have six Olympics and ten World Championships behind me,” the Carinthian explained two days before the home slalom in Flachau, why he is open to change.

Discussions have already been held and he has expressed his interest. “I am really happy with the slalom team. But I'm almost 50 years old, and at some point you want to develop further." For Pfeifer, it would be an "incredible challenge to perhaps take the next step after 21 years as a technical trainer." But of course the management must want him. “I would be happy and motivated to do this thing. But it’s out of my hands.”
